Congratulations to BU Students on winning the “Innovation Award” at Emory University’s Global Health Case Competition
Last weekend, 140 students convened in Atlanta for Emory University’s Global Health Case Competition. The Challenge: Create a plan to curb violence in the world’s most violent city, Honduras.
Representing Boston University was: Ariel Falconer (SPH); Karen Foo (School of Medicine); Liz Nerad (Questrom School of Business/SPH); Kim Principe (Questrom School of Business); and Tess Timmes (School of Medicine).
Once all 24 teams arrived in Atlanta, they had less than 24 hours to perfect and present their solution to a panel of judges.
In the end, the Boston University team walked away with the Innovation Award, for proposing a three pronged solution targeted at increasing effectiveness of the system, increasing trust and community outreach, and decreasing gun-related homicide rate, in Honduras.
