Congratulations to Duke University Senior John Lu, who was just named a Marshall Scholar. Lu is a 2017 Barry M. Goldwater Scholar, a Duke Faculty Scholar award winner and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. During his undergrad years at Duke, Lu spent two summers in global health interventions and policy research -- one addressing #schistosomiasis in Tanzania and the other immunization policy in Ghana. He created and taught a student-led “house course” for Duke students on neglected tropical diseases, founded an undergraduate global health journal, and was chosen as one of eight student board members to advise the Sabin Vaccine Institute END7 campaign on its efforts to increase world-wide student engagement. An incredible honor for a young man who will be a huge help in #ReachingTheLastMile toward eradicating #NTDs worldwide.
