GlobeMed at CU Boulder has had a great start to the new school year. Our first meeting was on September 9th, and we have over 50 excited members ready to contribute to the GlobeMed mission and promote global health equity and social justice. We have GlobeMedders from all different disciplines and majors that are all united by their vision for global health equity.
This year we welcome to our community advisory board Matt McQueen and Gay Lynn Olsen. Matt McQueen is the director of the Public Health Certificate here at CU, and Gay Lynn Olson teaches Global Health for the Public Health Certificate. We are excited to have their support and expertise in our goal of global health equity.
Our Global Health University coordinators have been working hard to ensure that all members are well informed about what is going on in the world, not only surrounding health, but also social inequalities and current events. From presentations about the history of Nepal to different health systems to diseases like AIDS, our Global Health University coordinators have quite the agenda planned out for us this semester to learn more about global health equity.
Coming up on the first weekend of November is the annual Colorado Global Health Conference. The theme of the conference this year is women’s empowerment, and we are currently developing the schedule and are also working on finding amazing guest speakers. We are looking forward to this great opportunity to unite Colorado GlobeMedders in their passion for social justice.
We have also be in contact with Anil, the director of Himalayan Healthcare, a lot this year. HHC has been continuing work on earthquake relief and is really seizing the opportunity to help rebuild a better, more advanced Nepal. We are also working with Anil on our GROW internship, which is on track to occur the summer of 2016.
Again, thank you for your continued support. We could not do what we do without your generosity!
In Solidarity,
Kianna
