About Our Sponsors
The University of Georgia has over 107 faculty conducting
infectious disease research. The Faculty of Infectious Diseases
spans eight schools and colleges at UGA, creating a consolidated
profile for infectious disease research at UGA. To learn more about
the FID, visit: http://fid.ovpr.uga.edu/about/
The Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) is a
university-wide, interdisciplinary center established in 1998 at UGA to
foster research, education and service related to tropical and emerging
infectious diseases. The Center is made up of a wide range of research
programs that focus largely on protozoan and metazoan parasites, their
hosts and their vectors, with both international, on-site components for both research and training.
http://www.ctegd.uga.edu/
The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine is dedicated to training future
veterinarians, providing services to animal owners and veterinarians, and conducting
investigations to improve the health of animals as well as people. Equipped with the
most technologically advanced facilities located on a university campus, the college is
dedicated to safeguarding public health by studying emerging infectious diseases that
affect both animal and human health. The College enrolls 96 students each fall and has
over 145 faculty members. http://www.vet.uga.edu/
The Odum School of Ecology at UGA is the first stand-alone
school of ecology in the world. Areas of research emphasis
include ecosystem, population and evolutionary ecology, and
infectious disease ecology. The Odum School offers
undergraduate and graduate degrees in ecology, as well as a
master’s degree in conservation and sustainable development. To learn more, visit
www.ecology.uga.edu
The College of Public Health at the University of Georgia promotes health
in human populations through innovative research, exemplary education,
and engaged service dedicated to preventing disease and injury within
the state and around the world. The College currently offers programs in
biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, gerontology, health
policy and management, health promotion and behavior, public health,
and toxicology. http://www.uga.edu/publichealth/
The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) supports and
promotes UGA research and scholarly activity through improving the
day-to-day work environment of researchers, building new directions
in research, ensuring responsible research practices, and
communicating the value of research within and beyond the
university. http://www.ovpr.uga.edu/
The President's Venture Fund was established to assist with
significant funding opportunities that are brought to the
President's attention by the Provost with the support of a
department head and dean. This fund is supported by the Arch
Foundation for the University of Georgia, an organization
focused on securing the private financial resources that will help continue the rise in academic quality at
UGA. http://www.uga.edu/archfoundation/index.html

About Our Sponsors
The Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases program at NSF h as supported
research on the ecological, evolutionary, and socio-ecological principles and processes
that influence the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases since 2000. The annual
EEID PIs meeting was recently merged with the EEID conference.
The Biomedical Health Sciences Institute at the University of Georgia unites
faculty in multiple schools and colleges focused on health and biomedical
research. Divisions include Neuroscience, One Health, and Basic and
Translational Biomedical Research. www.biomed.uga.edu
The Franklin College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest, largest and most
academically diverse college at the University of Georgia. Franklin College
comprises 30 departments in five divisions: Fine Arts, Social Sciences,
Biological Sciences, Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and the Humanities.
In addition to educating more undergraduates than any college on campus, the
Franklin College offers 76 graduate degrees and certificates in 42 fields of
study.
The mission of the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the
University of Georgia is to prepare leaders in the conservation and sustainable
management of forests and other natural resources; to discover ways to
restore and better use the earth’s natural resources; and to put into practice
forestry and natural resources knowledge.
The efforts of One Health @ UGA aim to move beyond preventing infectious
diseases toward a more comprehensive, global understanding of health that
includes social, physical and other components. The goal is healthier people,
healthier animals, and a healthier world. Preventing diseases and promoting health
are two sides of the same coin, as is “One World, One Health.”
We also thank meeting co-sponsors Emory University and Georgia Tech for contributing
financial support and for participation in our steering committee.

HIKE – FRIDAY MAY 29, 2015
The annual hike will be held at Sandy Creek
Park, a popular choice for outdoor leisure
located very close to Athens.
Buses will pick up hike participants by 11:45am from the
UGA campus (see map to right). Return buses will arrive
around 4pm; one of the buses will return participants to
the Classic Center, and the other buses will drive to
Whitehall Forest for the closing BBQ.
Participants planning to attend closing BBQ should take the
bus from Sandy Creek to the BBQ site; there is no
transportation provided from downtown to BBQ.
Options at Sandy Creek Park:
Lakeside Trail: This trail follows the shore of Lake
Chapman, including the new Ellen R. Jordan bridge over
Sandy Creek. Hikers may return to their origin by
following the paved roadways back. This trail is of
moderate difficulty and takes approximately 3 hours to
complete. White blazes. Trail-heads: The first trailhead is at
the boat ramp parking lot located off Beech Tree Drive. A
second trailhead is located off Campsite Drive on the left
near the dam, park in the parking lot above and walk down
to meet the trail-head.
Cook's Trail: This greenway trail connects Sandy Creek
Park with Sandy Creek Nature Center, and runs creek-side
through woodlands and wetlands for over four miles (one
way; not a loop). The trail is mostly flat and good for
birdwatching. Return transportation from the Sandy Creek
Nature Center is not provided. If you choose to be dropped
off at the nature center, you MUST walk the trail to Sandy
Creek Park to catch the return buses.
Other activities – boats and disc golf: Too hot to hike in the
Georgia heat? Hang out in the pavilion and take a dip at the
beach. Boats (canoes, kayaks, and stand-up-paddleboards) also
will be available for rental. Rates are $5/hour for the first hour,
and $2/hour for subsequent hours. Sandy Creek also has a disc
golf course (extra fee).
See the following page for a map of Sandy Creek park trails
and important EEID meeting points.

cozy rooms to choose from. Two Story offers a great selection of specialty coffees, teas,
pastries, and gelato! Located in Five Points at 1680 Lumpkin St.
Hendershots – Hendershots is more than a coffee shop – they’re also a music venue with a
full bar and they serve lunch and dinner too – but they have great coffee and they’re open
early. It’s usually packed by 8 AM. Located in the Bottleworks at 237 Prince Ave.
