Welcome


LadiesatIlindiwWhiteLeghornresized.jpgDean Elizabeth Stone and Cate Dewey look forward to hosting you from May 6 to May 9, 2012 at the Global Development Symposium that will be held at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.


Underscoring the "Critical Links between Human and Animal Health" the Global Development Symposium will explore interdisciplinary approaches to improving public health and food security while empowering communities for lasting change. The symposium will bring together social, environmental, medical and veterinary scientists with policy makers, students and community members who have an interest in positive global development.
