Engineering faculty interested in international development: I invite you to participate in the hosted sessions, invited talks, and reception during the College's *Innovation in International Development Expo* on *Friday, March 27*. The Expo is a celebration of international development activities carried out by our faculty and students. Invited speakers include directors/senior program managers at Agencies/Foundations and leaders at the forefront of international development. The hosted sessions are a good opportunity to learn about ongoing programs at the agencies. The poster session is an opportunity to learn about ongoing projects at Purdue, and the talks will address the opportunity space for engineering in international development. The reception in the evening at the Co-Working studio will be a nice chance for further discussions with the visitors. A full schedule follows below.
