The National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (Tracking Network) is a dynamic Web-based tool that provides health and environmental data in one easy to find location. It allows scientists, health professionals, and members of the public to see where these hazards and health problems are occurring and how they are changing over time. Currently 23 states and New York City receive funding to build local tracking networks that cover environmental health issues specific to their communities. These partners send data from their local tracking systems to the National Tracking Network to help CDC and other researchers monitor and identify trends in environmental public health data.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program provides ten months of non-degree academic study and related professional experiences in the United States. Humphrey Fellows are selected based on their potential for leadership and their commitment to public service in either the public or the private sector. The Humphrey Program fosters a mutual exchange of knowledge and understanding about issues of com...mon concern in the United States and the Fellows’ home countries. The Program offers Fellows valuable opportunities for leadership development and professional engagement with Americans and their counterparts from many nations. More than 4,000 men and women have been honored as Humphrey Fellows since the program began in 1978. Approximately 200 Fellowships are awarded annually. Eighteen major universities in the United States host Humphrey Fellows. These host universities are chosen for their excellence in the Program's designated fields of study and for the resources and support they offer Humphrey Fellows.
The Student Government Association is the preeminent student advocacy and policy setting organization, representing undergraduate, graduate and professional students on all of Emory's campuses. The SGA first emerged in 1966 on Emory’s Atlanta campus. The organization was founded to serve as a vehicle through which students can have their concerns addressed by elected student representatives. Since its inception, the SGA has had an industrious and successful tenure. The organization has offered a legitimate voice to the University administration, championing students’ interests, and partially funding various speaking events and campus structures. For example, the SGA secured funding for lights on the lower fields, new equipment in the WoodPEC, and a new surface and drainage for McDonough field. SGA recognizes 12 subsidiary divisions of Emory University. From each division, the SGA collects a Student Activity Fee. The Student Activity Fee is a fixed amount set by the SGA Legislature, which is collected from each student each semester. Currently, the Student Activity Fee is $89.00 per student per semester. After the fee is collected, the money is then redistributed to all twelve divisions and the SGA based on fixed percentages in the Fee Split. After each division receives its portion of the Student Activity Fee, the money is divided among the various student organizations within that division. The amount each organization receives is determined during the university-wide budgeting process, which takes place in the spring semester of each year. Each division is governed by its own student government, called divisional councils. While each divisional council (such as the College Council) maintains some fiscal autonomy, the SGA is responsible for approving all financial transactions from the Student Activity Fee. Additionally, all divisional councils must adhere to the various SGA governing documents.
