    If any election year boggles the mind, this one is it. Even in an election cycle as full of surprises as this one, our brains create the conditions that allow some ideas, messages, and candidates to resonate and others to fall flat. This presentation focuses on principles of effective political communication that apply to both leadership and marketing. It uses these principles, as well as an analysis of where we are economically and historically, to explain the unprecedented political ride of 2016. Join Emory College Professor Drew Westen as he shows examples of ads and debate clips that worked or didn’t, and examines why from the point of view of the mind and brain.

    Multiculturalism now stands as the great fault line of our society. Ferguson, Charleston, and other major recent events show us that deep social divisions and inequities have been masked for too long. Change is needed now more than ever before. How can Emory University lead courageously on this issue at home and in the world? How can alumni engage with the university to help us with this ambitious project? Change is needed now more than ever. Emory Campus Life serves as a laboratory and training ground for our students to become change agents and leaders. As Senior Vice President and Dean of Campus Life Ajay Nair explains, “polyculturalism means recognition and appreciation of the multiplicity and intersectionality of our identities; the reframing of multiculturalism to view culture as dynamic and thriving.” Join Emory President James Wagner, Senior Vice President and Dean of Campus Life Ajay Nair, alumna Maria Town 10C, Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Emory's Candler School of Theology Greg Ellison 99C, and current student Jalyn Radziminski 18C in a conversation on Emory’s role in seeking positive transformation at home and in the world as we examine our polycultural future.

    Fifty years ago Clark Kerr—then chancellor of UC/Berkeley—famously said that a university could keep all its constituents happy by providing “sex for the students, football tickets for the alumni, and parking for the faculty.” Since then, expectations have risen steeply. How can a university—how can EMORY—prepare its students with career paths, cultural literacy, social maturation, keener thinking, spiritual insight, tools for citizenship, safe space, counseling services, health care, international experience, physical fitness, and entrepreneurial opportunities, all while reducing costs, meeting government regulations, conducting breakthrough research, out-teaching Socrates, serving the community, and making the diplomas of alumni more valuable? In this webinar Emory University Vice President and Deputy to the President Gary Hauk 91PhD will explore how.

    Sports are one of the final thresholds for serious scholarship on African American history and life that can expose the complex nature of blackness throughout American history. Yet, to appreciate fully the accomplishments of those who fought for the right to play America’s pastime in organized white baseball or perform on behalf of one’s country as an Olympian, we first need to recognize the “psychic value” of sports in the black community as a vehicle to achieving some sense of belonging in a country that denied the birthright of its darker sons and daughters.
