Join us on April 15th, 2021 from 12-1pm for a virtual conversation about sexual violence prevention and support on Emory’s campus. The University Senate Subcommittee on the Prevention of Sexual Violence will host a series of conversations as part of different tracks at the event focused on how students, faculty, and staff can be involved in sexual violence prevention and support on Emory’s campus.
The event will be moderated by Dr. Cari Jo Clark, Associate Professor, Rollins School of Public Health, and Chair within the University Senate Campus Climate Sub-Committee. The event format will include:
Intro/brief moderated discussion at beginning (10-15 minutes)
Breakout rooms with participants attending pre-selected track with facilitators (30 minutes)
Brief moderated discussion to close event (10-15 minutes)
The active participation of the medical community – those who took an oath to “first, do no harm,” – in the labeling, persecution, and mass murder of millions of those deemed unfit, represents one of the darkest periods not only in the history of medicine, but in the history of humankind.
Yet, even in the darkest times, one can always find the light. Stories of physicians who remained dedicated to healing and saving lives prove that the power and privilege of medicine can be an inspiration to us all.
The past year has found our society faced with unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19. The lessons of the Holocaust have informed our current situation as we struggle to meet this challenge in the most ethical manner possible. This Holocaust Remembrance Day, we look to medicine and morality as a way to reflect on the past and protect the future, while appreciating the miraculous work of our healthcare professionals during this global pandemic.
“Medicine and Morality: Lessons from the Holocaust and COVID-19” will include internationally known scholars discussing the nexus between medicine, ethics, and the Holocaust and how lessons learned from the past have been incorporated into the handling of the current pandemic. The program will also include testimony from Holocaust survivors and stories of healthcare professionals whose lives have been shaped by the Holocaust.
How to Attend
Date/Time: Wednesday, April 7th, 7:00PM EST

The Summer Institute in Mental Health Research offers:
A variety of mental health-related courses, many of which touch upon the Covid-19 pandemic
Online course offerings
The option of taking courses for either credit or non-credit
A certificate of completion for all courses taken
The Institute focuses on methodological and substantive topics in mental health and substance-use research. It is intended for working professionals or students who are interested in developing research expertise in the epidemiology of mental health and substance use disorders, the implementation and evaluation of mental health services and interventions, and/or the methodological issues encountered in mental health research in the population. Our experts are not only training the next generation of public health leaders, they are leading the way in research areas, including the mental health implications of Covid-19.
After completing the program, participants will understand the latest findings on the occurrences of mental health and substance use disorders in the population and their implications for public mental health; know the steps involved in the scientific, empirical evaluation of services and interventions targeted for mental health outcomes; and acquire the skills and knowledge needed in using the state of the art methodological tools for collecting and analyzing mental health data.Where academic credit leading to a degree is desired, students are required to pay the standard school tuition for 2021 (to be determined) per credit.

Emory University’s Department of Title IX is honored to have authors Dr. Jennifer S. Hirsch (Columbia University) and Shamus Khan (Princeton University) join us to discuss their recent book, Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus on Wednesday, April 21st at 6:30pm EST via a Zoom Webinar moderated by Dr. Jessica Sales, Associate Professor at Rollins School of Public Health.
Published in January 2020, the book puts forth powerful new concepts to help explain the forces in young people’s sexual lives and explores sexual assault on college campuses. Through research and interviews with students, the book discusses people’s experiences, sexual relationships, and a roadmap on how to address sexual assault.
Join the Department of Epidemiology for EPI-Interactions! These informal sessions are a great opportunity for PhD and MPH/MSPH students to get to know the faculty better and enjoy a fun break during the school day. To promote conversation there is a limit of 5 students per time slot with each professor. Access to our productive faculty is one of the main reasons that students chose to study at EmoryEPI, so sign up today!

Did you know that more than a billion people worldwide are at risk of contracting neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)? These infections can lead to disability (including blindness and elephantiasis), stigma, and even death.
NTDs are preventable and treatable, but oftentimes people are unwilling to accept treatment due to disturbing rumors or misinformation they have heard. The Task Force for Global Health is hosting a virtual hackathon, “Spreading Truth, Not Disease,” on April 17th to solve this global health communication challenge that countries face today.
Interdisciplinary teams of students will compete to win $2,000 and the opportunity to showcase their work in a virtual booth, during the annual meeting of the Coalition for Operational Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (COR-NTD), a global meeting of researchers, program implementers and their in-country partners with the shared goal of optimizing NTD control and elimination.
This year’s inaugural symposium will bring together researchers, health practitioners, students, and the public at large to learn about the intersection of racism and health and discuss how we can collectively propose sustainable solutions towards health equity. The symposium will include two keynote speakers and three sessions on research, interventions, and public engagement. This year the Population Health Symposium is being organized by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
