Peer collaborators and volunteers sought for Mandela Washington Fellowship at Purdue University ABOUT THE MANDELA WASHINGTON FELLOWSHIP Purdue University will host 25 of Africa's brightest emerging leaders for an academic and leadership institute focused on business and entrepreneurship from June 17 to July 29, 2016. The Mandela Washington Fellowship, the flagship program of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), empowers young African leaders through academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities, and support for activities in their communities. Purdue’s Mandela Washington Fellows represent 18 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa. They are CEOs, entrepreneurs, engineers, farmers, and business people representing the fields of agribusiness, engineering, and information technology. Fellows have indicated specific interests in post-harvest losses, food processing, biotechnology, livestock production, agricultural mechanization, energy issues, and STEM education. The cohort of Fellows at Purdue will be part of a larger group of 1,000 Mandela Washington Fellows hosted across the US this summer. PEER COLLABORATORS We are seeking peer collaborators from the greater Lafayette community who are similar in age (under 40 years old), share similar professional interests (business and entrepreneurship in fields related to agriculture and engineering), and are leaders in their area of specialization. Peer collaborators may enjoy this as an opportunity to showcase their business, share their experience, and build relationships internationally. Specific expectations for peer collaborators are provided here<http://www.purdue.edu/mandela-fellowship/get-involved/>. Submit your interest in serving as a peer collaborator<https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9preE2QlugsuAFn> VOLUNTEERS We are seeking volunteers to help provide facilitation, hospitality, and assist with logistics during the fellows stay at Purdue. We invite students, staff, faculty, and community members to engage in this capacity. We will be happy to work with you to find volunteer opportunities that fit your interests and availability. Submit your interest in serving as a volunteer<https://purdue.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bJl0XTrhru7SkQZ> If you are interested in serving as a peer collaborator or volunteer, or exploring other ways in which you might engage with Purdue’s Mandela Washington Fellowship, please visit http://www.purdue.edu/mandela-fellowship/get-involved/ or contact mwf(a)purdue.edu<mailto:f@purdue.edu> ________________________________________________________ Anne Dare, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Associate, Global Engineering Programs Academic Director, Mandela Washington Fellowship Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA adare(a)purdue.edu<mailto:adare@purdue.edu> | Office: 765-494-2288 | Mobile: 812-381-1135

Please respond if you are able to attend. This will be one of our last two meetings until the new academic year. Both of the topics addressed will be important for you to conceptualize and design development projects. Andrea Burniske Program Manager, I 2D Lab Global Engineering Programs, 4th Floor, Wang Hall Purdue University West Lafayette, IN Ph: 765.496.3533 Skype: AndreaLaBurniske https://engineering.purdue.edu/GEP/I2DLab The future is already here - it's just not very evenly distributed -William Gibson From: I2d-list [mailto:i2d-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Burniske, Andrea E Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 1:37 PM To: i2d-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu; Hardiman, Brady S <hardimanb(a)purdue.edu> Subject: I2D-list Next i2D Lab Meeting Wednesday April 20th [cid:image002.png@01D19A2B.22A1B7F0] BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS REMINDER Colleagues, The Innovation for International Development Lab (I2D Lab) under the Office of Global Engineering Programs (GEP) aims to foster a vibrant community of faculty, staff, and students working with international partners to address grand challenges in international development based on engineering innovations and market-driven approaches. This includes research, design, adaptation, and field-testing of appropriate technologies and services that have strong potential to become scalable solutions for energy access, healthcare, water and sanitation, labor-saving innovations, and disaster/humanitarian response. The next I2D Lab meeting of this semester is scheduled for Wednesday April 20th at 12:00-1:30pm in WANG 2501 with the following agenda: 12:00pm Announcements (Anne Dare is back!) - funding opportunities, upcoming campus visitors and events, etc. 12:15pm Andrea Mazzurco, Design methods to facilitate community participation in engineering for international development 12:45pm Gary Burniske, How the logical framework helps you to design your development project 1:15pm Round-the-table updates This semester, we will also be offering the opportunity to join I2D Lab meetings remotely via WebEx. If you would like to join via this option, please let me know and I will send a connection link. The goal of these meetings is to learn more about engineering faculty interests and ongoing projects in global sustainable development, look for potential research collaborations, and to network with partners on campus to target new funding/partnership opportunities. Please feel free to share this announcement with interested colleagues or graduate students. We ask that you RSVP at gep(a)purdue.edu<mailto:gep@purdue.edu> to this, and subsequent meetings so that we can obtain a count for lunch. If you do not RSVP, you will not receive lunch. Lunch starts at 11:30. Please RSVP by noon, Monday April 18th so Tami is able to place the lunch order. The meeting schedule for remainder of the semester follows.
