Join us in the energy and excitement on Friday, March 14, 2014, for the final pitches and showcase in the Innovation in Action: Solutions to Public Health Challenges competition. Take your seat in the auditorium and watch the show... then join us for a reception afterward.

Student teams from all over campus accepted the challenge to create new solutions to real-world challenges. Connecting with innovators and entrepreneurs from the entire university, the projects have been honed, and the ideas are now ready for prime time.

The teams have been working on their innovative projects and pitches for 5 months. For the first time, these projects will be publicly revealed, in a competition finals event like no other.

As a special feature, the world's leading poetic voice, Sekou Andrews, will bring his special blend of storytelling, inspirational speaking, spoken word poetry, theater and comedy to the stage.

Learn about "the Sekou effect" and see samples of his work online at sekouandrews.com.

The public is invited, and there is no charge to attend. Please plan to participate on March 14!
