The Student Advisory Board of the Duke Human Rights Center@FHI hosted the annual Global Ideas, Local Impact event on March 27, 2019. Global Ideas, Local Impact is the Duke Human Rights Center’s annual celebration of human rights opportunities at Duke and in the world. The event includes a Research Slam, where students present their human rights research conducted throughout the school year, and an alumni panel, where alumni working in different fields related to human rights share their experiences and advice about human rights work.
