ATLANTA — Presidents, deans and educators in Georgia’s public university system — in response to recent questions from a state lawmaker on the topic — say they’re not teaching courses
Four members of the Carnegie Mellon University alumni community, including a long-serving CMU trustee, and two faculty members have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). The NAE is one of the highest professional distinctions for engineers.
Zoltan Cendes, Sebastian Ceria, Erroll Brown Davis Jr., Marija Ilic, Kathryn Jackson and William D. Magwood IV are among 106 new members and 23 new international members elected this year. I congratulate all of the Carnegie Mellon community members elected to the National Academy of Engineering on this well-deserved recognition of their leadership and contributions to engineering research and practice, said Farnam Jahanian, president of Carnegie Mellon. Their impacts in their respective fields are invaluable, as are their associations with our university. Their membership in the NAE is yet another reminder that the CMU community is home to the world s brightest minds and most remarkable leaders.

ATLANTA Georgia officials are proposing one-time bonuses of $1,000 to many state employees who make less than $80,000 a year.
Gov. Brian Kemp, House Speaker David Ralston and Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, all Republicans, announced the plan Wednesday. They said they wanted to recognize the hard work of employees during the pandemic. Our state employees work incredibly hard despite the global pandemic, Kemp said. They have to be going above and beyond the call of duty to deliver essential services to our most vulnerable, keeping our businesses open and delivering financial assistance to those that quite honestly many days were losing hope.
