Campus Events

A series of discussions in the residence halls beginning Monday, Sept. 18 will continue the momentum of the Forum. The discussions will be led by a team composed of a faculty member and one or two students who have had international service or research experience in the health field.

The faculty include some of the University’s most distinguished researchers and scholars who have volunteered to be facilitators for discussions slated to take place between Monday, Sept. 18 and Tuesday, Oct. 3. Eighteen students have volunteered to join faculty by sharing their experiences, which largely have taken place in Central or Latin American or in Africa. Students are encouraged to attend at least one session, ideally one sponsored by their hall, but all sessions are open to interested students.
