These <a href="http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/printedition/2009/05/07/speakers0507.html">headliner commencement speakers</a> are not the only folks traveling to Atlanta this month for graduation ceremonies. The Atlanta region's 50+ colleges graduate almost 40,000 students each year with bachelor's or higher degrees. <a href="http://atlantahighered.org/default.aspx?tabid=627&Report=2&xmid=224">An ARCHE study</a> puts the number of visits to Atlanta for commencement at almost 270,000. About 80,500 of them stay overnight. That adds up to a major economic impact as local hotels, restaurants and attractions welcome visiting family and friends in town to congratulate the grads. Chasing the Flu in Campus Labs Scientists on local campuses are ramping up their work to understand and combat new and existing strains of influenza. In April, Emory University's School of Medicine, in collaboration with the University of Georgia, <a href="http://whsc.emory.edu/press_releases2.cfm?announcement_id_seq=9580">was named one of six</a> U.S. Centers for Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance by the National Institutes of Health, which funded the center with a 7-year, $32.8 million contract. <img title="A H1N1 (CDC)" height="75" alt="A H1N1 (CDC)" hspace="2" src="http://www.atlantahighered.org/sendstudio/temp/images/2/H1N1_flu_blue_4.jpg" width="64" align="right" vspace="2" border="0"/>A sampling of flu research on ARCHE-member campuses: > Emory's <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/148981.php">multi-pronged approach</a> to the new A H1N1 influenza includes developing a test, a temporary therapy, and faster ways to produce vaccine for the disease. <a href="http://whsc.emory.edu/home/news/releases/2009/05/h1n1-research-at-emory.html">More ></a> <img title="Ralph Tripp, UGA" height="73" alt="Ralph Tripp, UGA" hspace="2" src="http://www.atlantahighered.org/sendstudio/temp/images/2/RalphTripp3.jpg" width="75" align="right" vspace="2" border="0"/>> At the University of Georgia's Animal Health Research Center biocontainment labs, Ralph Tripp, a <a href="http://www.gra.org">Georgia Research Alliance</a> Eminent Scholar, is testing anti-viral strategies against the new swine flu and learning more about its transmission and virulence. <a href="http://www.uga.edu/news/artman/publish/090428swine_flu_experts.shtml">More ></a> > UGA is also collaborating with the Medical College of Georgia on a 5-year, $2.9 million grant to study a particular human enzyme's role in vaccine failure. <a href="http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2009/05/07/met_523054.shtml">More ></a> <img title="Emory-Tech microneedle device" height="63" alt="Emory-Tech microneedle device" hspace="2" src="http://www.atlantahighered.org/sendstudio/temp/images/2/microneedles_3.jpg" width="90" align="right" vspace="2" border="0"/>> An Emory-Georgia Tech team has developed a new way to administer flu vaccine: skin patches with microneedles. Testing in mice has shown the device to be as effective as flu shots, and it could increase vaccination rates because it hurts less, is more convenient, and costs less. <a href="http://whsc.emory.edu/home/news/releases/2009/04/flu-vaccine-given-in-microneedle-patches.html">More ></a> <img title="Baseball at Kennesaw State" style="width: 84px; height: 119px" height="135" alt="Baseball at Kennesaw State" hspace="2" src="http://www.atlantahighered.org/sendstudio/temp/images/2/KSUBaseball3.jpg" width="100" align="left" vspace="2" border="0"/>KSU Plays up to NCAA Division I Starting fall 2009, all 16 of Kennesaw State University's varsity sports teams will compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association as KSU completes its transition into this level of collegiate sports. <a href="http://news.kennesaw.edu/access/newsreleases2.asp?dt=1008">More ></a> Creating a School Safe from Bullying To combat bullying at school, researchers in Georgia State University's Center for Research on School Safety stress that the key to a safe school climate is ensuring that every child has at least one adult to talk with when problems arise. In interviews with teachers and students about bullying, researchers have found that while teachers often report they intervene with bullying, students often say educators are not doing enough. <a href="http://education.gsu.edu/schoolsafety/2300.html">More ></a> <a href="http://www.ctsnet.edu/LL/Events.aspx"> </a> SCAD Computes: State-of-the-Art Shoes <img title="SCAD students use Romans Cad to design shoes, accessories" height="100" alt="SCAD students use Romans Cad to design shoes, accessories" hspace="2" src="http://www.atlantahighered.org/sendstudio/temp/images/2/RomansCad3.jpg" width="136" align="left" vspace="2" border="0"/>New design software is helping SCAD-Atlanta students design footwear and accessories.
