Winter Forum
.
.
The Winter Forum is a two-and-a-half-day conference for undergraduates that will be held annually prior to the start of spring semester. Each forum focuses on a single global issue and is led by a different university institute or school each year. For the inaugural year, the Nicholas Institute of Environmental Policy Solutions is hosting a forum entitled, “Making the Green Economy Work,” to be held January 10-12, 2010 at the Sanford School of Public Policy. Participating students will be provided with meals during the two-day event. During the conference, students, led by Duke faculty members and experts, will evaluate a global issue from perspectives of multiple disciplines and cultural perspectives as well as engage in collaborative work.
Participating faculty and invited guests are listed below. You can also find a tentative schedule here
