We’re remembering renowned epidemiologist William Foege, who passed away Jan. 24. Foege, a beloved Emory professor, is credited with devising the strategy to eradicate smallpox and inspired generations of global health leaders. A new program through the Emory College Pathways Center is giving undergraduate students more access than ever before to Atlanta-area employers and alumni. Keep reading for more stories, including how Emory is preparing to celebrate the World Cup in Atlanta this summer and an alumnus who was just named a Schwarzman Scholar — one of 150 recipients selected from more than 5,800 applicants. We’ll see you next week! And remember, you can always check out the Emory News Center for the latest updates. — The Emory Report team |
