Millennium Villages Student Research Showcase

On February 18, 2009 the Earth Institute at Columbia University's Office of Academic and Research Programs brought together 30 student interns, researchers and faculty members in the first Millennium Villages Student Research Showcase. These students and researchers shared their unique educational research experiences of working toward ending extreme poverty through sustainable development in the Millennium Villages project (MVP), the groundbreaking collaboration between the Earth Institute, Millennium Promise and the United Nations Development Programme, designed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
