What
The third annual 2023 Policy Hack-A-Thon event will be held virtually on Saturday, Dec. 2, and will involve students who are organized into groups and given real health care or program challenges to address. Students will address the issue with technology, education and policy. The teams — which will be assigned through the committee, you will not need to have a pre-arranged group to register — will present their work and judges will determine the strongest presentation. This will then convert into a paper and policy work to put the plan into action.
*Please note: To ensure adequate time for teams to prepare for the competition, we will be hosting a kick-off event on Monday, Nov. 27 from 7-8 p.m. via Zoom, to discuss the policy each group will be working on and answer any questions.
*REGISTRATION DEADLINE: NOV. 24*
