The Summer Coordinator will support a group of about 60 Harvard undergraduates taking part in global health experiences.  Working with ~20 students on campus in the Summer Undergraduate Research in Global Health (SURGH) program, the Coordinator will plan, schedule, coordinate, and attend weekly guest lectures, provide guidance for students in working with faculty mentors, and assist students in preparing for the final research presentations at the end of the program in August.  The Coordinator will plan and execute the final poster presentation session for students and mentors and collaborate with other summer program coordinators at Harvard to keep students informed of opportunities on campus.  Other duties may be assigned by the Program Coordinator for Education.
