Are you a part of global health at Duke? Share your story!

In conjunction with the upcoming "Against the Odds" global health exhibit, the Medical Center Library is collecting stories and images from Duke students, faculty and staff who have participated in global health activities. Please share your favorite digital photograph or a brief story (500 words or so) about your experiences around the world or here in Durham.

Images will be digitally displayed at the "Against the Odds" exhibit reception on September 3, from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. The reception is open to all in the Duke community and we hope that you will be able to join us!

Images and stories will also be added to the new Duke Global Health Stories Archive created by the Medical Center Archives. This online site will showcase and preserve the service and impact of global health activities at Duke.

To ensure that your photograph is included in the digital showcase at the September 3 reception, please submit your image file no later than August 17. Photographs and stories submitted after that date will still be added to the online exhibit and archive.

Submit your photographs and stories online today at http://digitaldukemed.mc.duke.edu/global_health/contribution

The "Against the Odds" exhibit will be on display from August 3 to September 11 in the Medical Center Library. This touring exhibition was developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health and is sponsored by the Duke Medical Center Library and Archives, the Duke Global Health Institute and the Hubert-Yeargan Center for Global Health. It features stories of community health, food for life, action on AIDS, the legacy of war, disease prevention and global collaboration.
