It's hard to believe that it is almost time for the 2015 Duke Symposium on Scaling Innovations in Global Health! We've been working hard to build a great schedule for everyone and we look forward to hearing the lessons innovators have learned through their work in global health. This year Ann Mei Chang, Executive Director of USAID's U.S. Global Development Lab, will be coming to talk about the importance of innovation in global health development. Ann Mei Chang is well-known for her work promoting technology to tackle the various issues women and girls face in the developing world. SEAD Innovators will be sharing with us the skills they find critical to be a successful entrepreneur and you'll have the chance to ask the innovators your questions both during the panels and the networking session. If you haven't registered yet, be sure to as you only have a week left!
We also have a number of complimentary events scheduled during the week of the Symposium that Duke students should be sure to join us for fantastic opportunities!

2015 SEAD Case Competition
Last year's case competition was a smashing success and by popular demand we're bringing it back! The SEAD Case Competition offers a unique opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students from diverse schools and disciplines to work together in teams of four to five to tackle real-time challenges facing an innovative health care initiative in the developing world.
Student teams will work through a real-life case scenario and develop concise, strategic recommendations for a client organization; the case will require an interdisciplinary approach that may involve issues related to policy, marketing, behavior change, and business. This is a great opportunity for you to network with students outside of your department and learn from each other.
You do not need a full team to register for the case competition! Students are encouraged to register as an individual or partial team and we will match you up with other students to form interdisciplinary teams.
The case competition will begin March 20th during the Symposium. Students must register by March 17th so don't miss your chance to participate! Read more.
