We are delighted to feature in this newsletter two feature articles: one about the excitement of two young Hart Fellows about to leave the safety of Duke for 10 months abroad working to improve women's health; and another about how Duke students who are already abroad for summer fieldwork experiences are coping with different cultures while completing their research projects.
 
We also highlight the work of several faculty members: Gillian Sander's recently published research on the importance of HIV Testing for older patients; a link to an article in the Herald Sun Newspaper about Sam Katz's lifetime legacy award from the nonprofit advocacy group Action for Children North Carolina for his tireless efforts on behalf of children, locally and globally; and a link to a podcast about Muslim Americans by Jen'nan Read, who will be joining the Duke Global Health Institute and the Department of Sociology in August.
 
We hope stories such as these are inspiring reminders of the passion for global health and global issues that Duke is nurturing. If you have other stories or items you would like to see listed in the newsletter, please email them to marsha.green@duke.edu.
