Do you want to find a way to contribute to the discussion about the earthquake aftermath in Haiti? Use your experience to generate innovative ideas that can translate into action on the ground through participating in the first annual Duke Global Health Case Competition. This competition is a unique opportunity for Duke graduate and undergraduate students from multiple schools and disciplines to come together to promote awareness of and develop innovative solutions for 21st century global health issues. Common across U.S. business schools, a case competition features teams of four to six students working through a real-life case scenario with the goal of providing helpful strategic recommendations to move the case subject forward efficiently and effectively. The competition is centered on team presentations to judges, who then score student recommendations and award prizes. For more details on the event including registration, click on More Info.
