The Global Health Forum kicked off its “Give a Net, Get a Vote” campaign on October 4, 2010 with an incredibly successful two-part program. After raising over 120 bed nets in 2 hours with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast, students whetted their intellectual appetite by attending malaria-expert and historian Randall Packard’s lecture.
Swarthmore College’s Daily Gazette on October 7th, 2009 covered the event.
You can also read a blog post on Randall Packard’s talk by Swarthmore College History Professor Timothy Burke to learn about an important debate in the struggle to address the burden of malaria.
