Emory
to host Lost Boys Summit, May 16–18
The first Lost Boys National Summit will take place on campus, May
16–18. The event will be co-hosted by the Lost Boys Foundation,
which represents a group of child refugees—known as the Lost
Boys from Sudan—who were orphaned during that country’s
civil war.
Stedman Graham, chairman and CEO of S. Graham and Associates, an
educational company, will be the keynote speaker at the Conference
Center Hotel, Friday, May 16, at 6 p.m. His topic, “Lost Boys
Can Make It Happen,” will be based on his best-selling book,
You Can Make It Happen: Nine Steps To Success.
Full summit registration is $100. Individual tickets for the Steadman
speech and dinner are $60, and tables of 10 can be bought for $500.
Registration can be made online at www.lostboysfoundation.org.
For more information call 404-475-6032.
Share files through
Emory Webdrive
Emory faculty, staff and students have a new way to share electronic
files from any location on or off campus, as the Information Technology
Division has introduced Emory Webdrive, a powerful, secure and easy
collaborative file-sharing service.
Webdrive is faster and less demanding on the e-mail system than
sending files by
e-mail attachment; users can share files up to 20 megabytes in size,
and the service also provides a secure location to edit or back
up files.
Emory Webdrive is divided into two services: Group Space (supporting
research, teaching and administrative communications, with approved
groups receiving up to one gigabyte of free space, with additional
space available for purchase) and Personal Space.
Accounts are already available for all students, faculty and staff.
