Prospect students participate in Harvard Global Health and Leadership Conference

Six Prospect High School students recently participated in the Harvard Global Health and Leadership Conference.

The Global Health and Leadership Conference at Harvard promotes student engagement with global health topics by bringing together Harvard faculty, students, and guests to educate and mentor high school students.

The conference encourages students to tackle issues in their local community by conducting evidence-based, cost-effective interventions that are impactful, sustainable and reproducible initiatives. The conference hopes to help students make a difference and to grow as civically minded leaders for the future.

Students who participated in the April conference include Anna Toneva, Brigitte Cueter, Mary Catherine Hanafee LaPlante, Gerard Pena, Jeongmin Lee and Hannah Pescaru. All were able to learn from several Harvard faculty and fellows about global health and leadership.
