Duke sophomore, Patrick Oathout, was featured in a session of the 2012 Clinton Global Initiative Meeting titled “The Wisdom of Failure: Building a Culture of Creative Problem Solving,” where panelists shared approaches that have proven to be successful. Oathout presented on his own “creative solutions” project, “Uhuru Mobile.”
