Global Health

Make a gift to public health today


The world faces unprecedented public health challenges that require global solutions, from infectious disease and pandemics to environmental pollution and climate change. The college’s Global Health Institute (GHI) provides a comprehensive and integrated focal point for innovative public health education, collaborative research, and experiential learning with many global partners. Students are demanding a global education, and one mission of the GHI is to prepare the next generation of global health leaders. We are providing students with real-world experiences and skills, essential for their success in working with partners around the world to provide real solutions to the ever-changing landscape of global health problems.

Your support will help grow our programs to train globally minded and culturally competent public health professionals who will meet the interconnected health challenges of tomorrow. We will use contributions to launch international pilot projects, and fund students for global research and experiential learning experiences that will train experienced and innovative public health professionals to shape the future of world health.
