On May 22, 2020, an online Duke University-wide symposium on COVID-19 Disparities and Health Equity sought to identify causes, consequences, and solutions as they related to COVID-19 and its impact on our community.

The symposium speakers and panelists, representing disciplines from lab science to community and population health science and included experts in environmental and social science as well as ethics and policy. Community leaders provided their perspectives and feet-on-the-ground knowledge of our community and its members. Meaningful content and dialogue were highlights from this event.
