Apply to be a CUGH Campus Representative for BU! Applications due July 20th.
In an effort to engage and mobilize the voices of local student groups involved in global health, the Trainee Advisory Committee (TAC) of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) is announcing a call for nominations of one Campus Representative from each CUGH member institution. With the goal of eliciting input from the broader trainee community, TAC is seeking Campus Representatives that will act as the liaison between TAC and the global health student body at their university. This Representative will be pivotal in reaching out to groups active in global health at their institution in order to build a larger network of trainees for collaboration. The following describes the role of the Campus Representative:
Obligations of a Campus Representative:
1. Be a liaison between your on-campus global health trainee activities and CUGH TAC.
2. Share CUGH TAC information and projects with students interested in global health.
3. Gather local students’ feedback about the roles of CUGH and TAC in global health and any modifications that may be warranted.
4. Provide ideas for solutions to various global health issues and student specific problems.
5. Represent the voice of global health students from your member institution.
6. Create and maintain a list of contacts of students and/or student groups interested in global health to facilitate information dissemination.
7. Work on advocacy projects in collaboration with the CUGH TAC.
Benefits of a campus representative:
1. Be the face of one of the biggest global health organizations to your campus.
2. Possible involvement in organizing Global Health topic webinar series, either content-related or promotional activities.
3. Network with students and professionals in global health on your campus and beyond.
4. Access to the CUGH Young Speaker Bureau.
