How did the UNC-Duke-Bennett MVP get started?
In a teleconference held by UNC Campus Y’s Health Focus Committee in September of 2005, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs challenged several UNC students to get their university involved in ending extreme poverty by partnering with a Millennium Village. Extending out from a core group of UNC students, students from Duke and Bennett have joined the partnership to create an unprecedented alliance among three diverse institutions. Our campaign is a great demonstration of the universality of the desire to become engaged in issues related to extreme poverty.
