Global Health Student Interest Group

Global Health Word Cloud 2023

In the fall of 2022, CGHAD launched a Global Health Student Interest Group for College of Public Health students. Monthly meetings will occur for students to learn more about global health topics and opportunities.

A survey has been created to collect data on students interested in the Student Interest Group and Global Health, in general, to help shape future meetings and the subject-matter focus. Please fill it out if you haven't already.
