Havey Institute for Global Health's Global Health Day. The event took place on November 19 at the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center and opened with remarks by Amelia Van Pelt emphasizing applied learning, multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. Thirty students from eight Northwestern schools formed six teams of four to six trainees, each team drawing members from at least three schools.
