Join us next week to hear from this year's IEDP cohort about our research and exploration in the West African hub of Dakar, Senegal. You will also get to hear from the four policy research groups - climate change, infectious disease, youth employment and children's rights - about their in-country stakeholder meetings and research findings. And for our eager returning students - we will reveal the 2019 IEDP country and explain the student leadership elections process. FSPP Internship seekers will find this event particularly insightful as GCS and the International Policy Center have designated $7,500 for a student to work in Senegal or on a topic related to this year's IEDP policy research groups. Of course, no Senegalese event is complete without its mouthwatering cuisine - Michigan's sole Senegalese restaurant Maty's African Cuisine will cater the evening reception.
In the meantime, be sure to check out our program website and Instagram, where you can learn more about IEDP and transport yourselves to the bustling streets of Dakar and its 75 degree "winter" climate...
We look forward to seeing you next week! -The IEDP 2018 Team
