About this Event
Join us for the first ever Global Health Futures Symposium on Friday, April 25 from 8:30 am - 12:00 pm. Be in community with your peers across the global health & foreign aid sectors as we explore the unknown future of global health, discuss our own role in shaping it, and hear from leaders on how global health experts can adapt their skills for new - but complementary - career paths.
Community-building through art: We'll be joined by the Triangle-based RedBud Writing Project, who will guide interested attendees in writing stories of reflection, celebration, and vision. Selected stories will be read at the end of the event.
