Democracy, Governance and Curbing Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
Location: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania
An international conference organized by the Master of Public Administration Program, in collaboration with The African & Caribbean Business Council.
While other regions of the world are making strides in improving the living standards of their citizens, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is still trapped in poverty with more than 40% of its 600 million people living below the internationally recognised absolute poverty level of US$ 1 per day. Several reports highlight corruption as one of the institutional and systemic problems responsible for keeping million of Africans under absolute poverty. In fact, the 2008 Transparency International report demonstrates a direct link between corruption and failure of societal institutions to effectively achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in SSA. It is a serious concern that the goals of halving poverty in SSA by the year 2015 from the level of 1990 will not be met.

Over the last few months many of you have been exploring possible careers in the consulting industry. There are many scientists and engineers who go on to become successful consultants, but consulting is not for everyone. If you are looking for ways to make use of your extensive hands-on research expertise in more applied settings, then working in the biotech start-up field may be a good option for you. Indeed, with a little business smarts, you can even be a founder of your very own start-up!
Join us for this panel discussion to learn about what scientific research looks like in a start-up environment, and whether this might be a good fit for your future career path. Come and explore another career option open to you where your academic research skills are highly valued. Four panelists with diverse start-up experience will talk about their own journeys into the start-up world, how they adapted to the faster-paced environment, what their average day looks like, and how you might be able to get your foot in one of the many start-up doors that exist in the local Philadelphia region and beyond. You can find out just how much business know-how you need to succeed (an MBA or not), and what job security and benefits are like as an employee or founder of these types of organizations.
Whether you know little about the start-up culture, or know for sure that you want to be involved, come and participate in this career exploration to gain additional insights into start-up opportunities and get your questions answered.

Mahendra T. Bhati, MD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, will speak to the TMS Support Group of Chester County on December 11, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the West Chester United Methodist Church, located at 129 S. High Street in West Chester. The group serves as a support network for those who have been treated or are currently in treatment with TMS therapy. The informal meetings allow individuals to share their experiences with depression and TMS and they provide support to participants through their stories. The group also serves as a support system for family and friends who have experienced depression second-hand. The meetings also serve as a venue for those unfamiliar with TMS therapy to learn more the treatment from practitioners, as well as patients.
For more information about Dr. Bhati’s talk and the group, please call the sponsoring organization, the TMS Institute of Pennsylvania, at (610) –738-8671.
