LUNCH WITH SMALL GROUPS (provided by GlobeMed)
Small Group Break-Out Session
11:45 AM - 1:30 PM | Kresge Hall (classrooms) 14
The work force of global health share values of health and human dignity, but as individuals we reflect diverse backgrounds and experiences. We recognize that these differences can either serve as points of contention or collaboration. From the streets of Harlem to Nigeria, Dr. Singh’s work shows how local and global engagement are part of the same story. Furthermore, his response to a hate crime last fall reveals a new model of leadership that can break barriers that divide us and instead foster courage, kindness, and resiliency among future leaders for global health.

We give heartfelt thanks to the Abbvie Foundation and the Abbott Fund for their ongoing support of GlobeMed. Through their generosity, we’ve grown from an idea to a global network united in our belief that health is a human right. Finally, thank you to our incredible network of students, alumni and partner organizations who have traveled to be here this weekend. Each year, you bring the power of the Summit to life. Tremendous gratitude to all of our supporters for joining us on this journey. Together, we can build a world in which every person lives a healthy and dignified life. With warmth, gratitude, and excitement for the future, Maya Cohen Executive Director
