The Student Global Health Committee is a student-run Global Health organization in the Gillings School of Global Public Health
Global Health is Public Health. Each day, we are reminded how our own health and well-being depends—to varying degrees—on the health and well-being of people living all across the world.
Reflected in the incorporation of “Global” into the school of public health’s name, UNC has never been more committed to global health. UNC’s esteemed faculty and students work in more than 45 countries, conduct innovative, upper-level research, and educate many of the world’s leaders in the global health field.
But there is still a need to increase UNC’s engagement with global health and the quality of its interactions with the rest of the state, nation, and world.
The mission of SGHC is to create awareness and understanding of global health issues among the UNC community through education, advocacy, and service.
