Winter Forum PANDEMIC 2011
Winter Forum is a three-day event that brings together 100 Duke undergraduates from around campus– with a special emphasis on international and engineering students and athletes – to explore a topic in-depth and from multiple disciplinary perspectives. This year’s forum will be hosted by the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI). Students will explore how diseases spread, how and when vaccines are developed, the ethics of who receives treatment, how governments prepare and respond, and the role of the media in disseminating information during a crisis. This session is designed to appeal and be relevant to students in any program and department. Hear from the students about their experiences and watch "breaking news" as Duke simulates a pandemic exercise on campus: sites.duke.edu/dukewinterforum2011/
