In the heart of campus, construction of the new Cherry Logan Emerson Hall will create occasional backups on Pierce Drive, Arkwright and the loop behind Bishop Hall. The construction, in progress since May, is located on the site of the demolished Utility Building adjacent to Atwood Hall. The project also will create dust, noise and vibration impacts on nearby residents, according to William Morgan, senior project manager, who added that these inconveniences are unavoidable. If there are significant concerns about the impact of the demolition on activities, contact Morgan at 404-727-1531.
Minority recruitment roundtable set for Oct. 5 The minority recruitment committee in the Department of History and the Graduate School admissions office are holding a roundtable on Tuesday, Oct. 5, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Cox Hall to encourage minority students to consider graduate or professional schools. Judith Miller, a professor in history, said her department has organized the event for several years, and feedback has always been positive. College and business school faculty nominated several minority students, who received individual invitations, but the event is open to anyone interested in postgraduate studies. Among the faculty participants in the roundtable, "Grabbing Hold of the Future: Minorities, Academia and Your Next Steps," are Johnnetta Cole of Anthropology and Women's and African American Studies; Vicente Vargas from the business school; Cynthia Spence, interim academic dean of Spelman College; John Morrow, professor of history at the University of Georgia; Lisa Flowers from the medical school; Ujjayant Chakravorty from the economics department; Kharen Fulton from the graduate school admissions office; and Miller. Refreshments will be provided. For more information, call Miller at 404-727-6564. |
