Student Projects at Harvard Worldwide Week

The second week of October was Worldwide Week at Harvard, a celebration of Harvard’s global engagement in its many academic and cultural groups. The Global Health Education and Learning Incubator (GHELI) participated in Worldwide Week by sharing our virtual gallery of student projects from the Spring 2022 undergraduate course, World Health: Challenges and Opportunities, taught by GHELI Faculty Director Sue J. Goldie. 

The course examines the extraordinary changes in the world that present both risks and opportunities to health—unprecedented interconnections across borders, rapidly shifting global demographics, and changing patterns of diseases and injuries. For their final assignment, students were asked to systematically analyze a societal health challenge they were passionate about and create a “problem-inspired” product intended to influence policy, motivate action, and inspire real-world change. You can explore a sample of outstanding 2022 student projects in our online gallery.
