In this capacity she developed and directed inter-professional global health projects for health graduate students\, oversaw health research projects in Malawi\, and taught international social work\, global social policy\, and global health. \nDr. Olsen received a BS from the University of Utah\, and a Master’s in Social Work and a PhD in Human Development from the University of Maryland. \nThroughout her career\, Dr. Olsen has championed the expansion of service\, learning and international opportunities for Americans of all backgrounds.\n\n  \nCosponsored by:  \n\nThe University of Utah Press\nThe Tanner Center for Human Rights\nThe Office of Global Engagement
