Serving globally
By Rachel Thompson | February 28, 2007Global health is becoming an increas-ingly important factor at the Univer-sity. With partnerships in countries such as Brazil, South Africa, Uganda, Guyana, Tanzania and the Philippines, the University's Center for Global Health collaborates with governments, health organizations and other universities to promote a worldwide healthcare network. "This time is so ripe, because the University is becoming more global in general, and health is so important in those goals," third-year College student Temi Awosogba said. For 28 years, the Center has sought to establish student-faculty mentorships, support resource-limited projects, train international fellows from collaborating institutions in developing nations and to report on leading issues in international health. Informing students about this emerging field is a key aim of the center, according to its Web site.
