Emory Pre-College Program Applications Open

2010-02-07T05:00:00Z

Emory’s summer Pre-College Program for high school students is now accepting applications. The Pre-College Program allows talented rising high school juniors and seniors to experience Emory’s distinctive academic and residential community.
The Pre-College experience can be transformational: both fun and academically focused. Students may enhance their academic portfolio and earn college credit in six-week undergraduate courses or enroll in two-week, non-credit courses for personal enrichment without the pressures of a grade. All classes are taught by committed Emory faculty who enjoy teaching and guiding prospective college students. The topics and courses allow for self-discovery, the chance to explore a possible major or career field, or enjoy that heightened level of creative expression and exposure that's not always available in the high school curriculum.
Six-week credit courses are offered in disciplines including Biology, Economics, Mathematics, Film Studies, Languages, Theater Studies, Social Sciences and Visual Arts. Two-week non-credit courses span similar subject areas and include classes such as “Globalization: The Sociology of a Shrinking World”, “Lawyer as Advocate and Advisor”, “Spectacular Soundtracks: Music in Movies,” “Public Health Career Opportunities and Practices”, “Medicines for Mental Health”, “Ethics and Bioethics” and the Science of Sustainability Institute. Courses run from May 8 to August 6.
For a full course listing, admission requirements and an online application to this exciting summer program visit www.college.emory.edu/pre-college. Email the Pre-College Program at summerprograms@emory.edu, or call 404-727-0671 to request a brochure. The application deadline is May 1.

Opening Reception and Trade-offs in Healthcare Panel

The United States is highly committed to health innovation, but advances in the standard of care generally lead to increases in cost. This panel will discuss evidence of whether a trade-off exists between high quality service and the cost of care. Does our constant strive for excellence make healthcare even more unattainable for those who already can’t afford it? How do we continue as a leader in health innovation while controlling costs?

Direct to Consumer Marketing
1:30pm - 3:00pm
With growing expectations for patients to take on a greater role in their health management, marketing has become more important to the healthcare equation.

Where are the boundaries?

Disruptive Business Models
3:30pm - 5:00pm
As healthcare costs continue to rise, it has become increasingly evident that the current healthcare service delivery model is unsustainable. This panel will focus on business model innovations that improve the quality, affordability, and accessibility of healthcare. What role should consumers play in managing their health? How can we measure outcomes to emphasize service quality? What alternative payment structures are being considered?

Technology Breakthrough
3:30pm - 5:00pm
Medical breakthroughs in nanotechnology, gene therapy and the use of robots promise to significantly improve health and the overall quality of life. This panel of experts will focus on developments in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices and information technology. Discussion topics will include the process of developing an innovation pipeline, the challenges of bringing a product to market, and how proposed healthcare reform is expected to affect innovation development. Attendees will receive a multidimensional view of both the future of medicine and how healthcare organizations and professionals collaborate and compete to develop products.

Earth from Deepa Mehta's Elements Trilogy Film Screening

2010-02-12T01:00:00Z

Earth (1998). Color. 110 min. India, Canada. In Hindi, English, Gujrati, Punjabi, Urdu, with English subtitles. Based on Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel Cracking India, Earth portrays, through the eyes of a child, the violent and abrupt undoing of the warm friendships between Hindu, Sikh, Parsee and Muslim friends during the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. With Aamir Kahn, Nandita Das, Rahul Khanna and Maia Sethna.

The “Elements” trilogy is an exploration of tradition and change in 20th century India. “The trilogy is about elements on one level that nurture and destroy us,” Mehta has said. “They are very tangible elements. Fire is about the politics of sexuality, Earth is about the politics of nationalism, and Water is about the politics of religion.”

The Sheth Lecture in Indian Studies is made possible by the generous support of the Sheth Family Foundation, which is dedicated to raise awareness of the culture and history of India and South Asia and to serving the Indian community, especially in Atlanta and the Southeast.

Emory’s Annual Jazz Fest Concert features bassist John Clayton with pianist Gary Motley and drummer Herlin Riley.

Seven-time Grammy nominated bassist/composer/conductor John Clayton's talents are consistently requested by the movers and shakers in the jazz industry, such as Quincy Jones and Tommy Lipuma. John Clayton served as the Artistic Director of Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1999 through 2001. In addition, he is Artistic Director for the Centrum Jazz Workshop in Port Townsend, Washington and was also appointed Artistic Director for the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival in 2006. In an effort to sum up John Clayton's unique expertise, "the man just does it all". He is equally comfortable in jazz and classical music, and hits the mark, whether it is as composer, arranger, conductor, teacher, in addition to his magnificence when he plays his bass.

A Hard Day’s Night : Emory Cinematheque Film Screening

2010-02-18T00:30:00Z

(1964, Richard Lester, Great Britain, black and white, 87 min.).
This smash hit, directed by the widely underrated Richard Lester and starring the Beatles, helped cement the band’s playful personas and features a marvelous array of early hits. But the film also brings French New Wave aesthetics into the English language cinema. A minimal journey plot, improvisation, jump cuts, and other discontinuities allowed audiences to experience the Beatles’ offbeat sensibility in a uniquely cinematic way.

Les Quatre Cents Coup: Emory Cinematheque Film Screening

2010-02-18T00:30:00Z

(THE 400 BLOWS) Francois Truffaut 1959 - the feature debut of one of the most accomplished and influential directors of the French New Wave, this moving, irrepressibly inventive portrait of alienation and desperate adolescent rebellion is a cornerstone of postwar world cinema. It is also the debut of Jean-Piere Leaud as the restless "Antoine Doinel" character he would play for Truffaut for the next 20 years.
