The third cohort of the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) has been selected. Starting in fall 2018 and continuing for nine months, the participants will take part in monthly workshops. Other program activities include a fall weekend workshop, small-group work, self assessments, and 360-degree assessments. In 2016, the Office of the Provost, in partnership with the Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship and the Office of Graduate Education and Faculty Development, launched the first cohort of the ELP, a program designed for associate and full professors who have attained tenure or are on the tenure track.

Kentez Craig grew up in Atlanta with two parents who served as first responders working as paramedics for local hospitals. Now, as a master's student of engineering, he is inspired by his parents as he helps develop and build protective equipment for healthcare professionals on the front lines fighting the battle against COVID-19.

The slightest bit of shear tension makes gecko adhesion surfaces grip, and the release of that same tension makes them let go. The same gripping surfaces can pick up objects of all shapes, sizes, and materials with the exception of Teflon and other non-stick surfaces. Credit: Georgia Tech / Varenberg lab

A research team at the Georgia Institute of Technology has created a prototype for a low-cost, portable emergency ventilator that uses electronic sensors and computer control to manage key clinical parameters such as respiration rate, tidal volume (the amount of air moved into and out of the lungs during each cycle), inspiration/expiration ratio, and pressure on the lungs.
