Program Summary 2007-2008: Synaptic Scholars

Matt Mercier — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:43:16 -0600

Some of the IGL’s most interesting and effectual endeavors arise from projects created by the eclectic array of student groups initiated within the Institute. The program summary, implemented in a standardized format for the first time in the 2007-2008 academic year, is intended to encapsulate the purpose, goals, and accomplishments of the student groups throughout the year. The program summary is as much a tool to encourage reflection and strategic planning within the student group as it is a medium to describe the group to the outside world, other students, collaborators, and donors.

EPIIC Symposium On Global Poverty And Inequality

Matt Mercier — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:35:06 -0500

Mass poverty is one of the world’s most pressing problems and daunting challenges. The compelling facts are well known:

• Over one billion people – almost one in five – live in extreme poverty, subsisting on less than a dollar a day.
• If the poverty line was raised to $2 a day, more than half of the world’s population would be living in poverty.
• Over 100 million primary school-age children cannot afford to go to school.
• Eight million people die each year simply because they lack the means to survive.
