Katherine Taylor, director of Global Health Training at the Eck Institute for Global Health said, “We are incredibly fortunate to have Professor Quigley come to campus to elaborate on the role of activism to initiate global change and the partnerships needed for a successful program.” The theme of this year’s Notre Dame Forum is “Going Global: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Globalization.” More information is available at forum.nd.edu  Contact: Ashley Scott ascott12@nd.edu 574-631-9227   Originally published by Katherine Ginsbach at globalhealth.nd.edu on October 25, 2017.
