EVENTS

07 TOPICS We feel very proud of what USC's chapter accomplished this year in its GlobalHealthU program. This year, thanks to the diverse resources provided by our national office and hard work of our globalhealthU coordinators and copresidents, our discussions reached a new level of depth and relevance. GlobalhealthU became a source of consistency in our busy schedule and a time to reflect on the meanings of our actions, not to mention a constant forum for ongoing debate and interaction. One of my favorite moments from this year's globalhealthU was the discussion on LGBTQ issues and global health, a highly controversial and relevant topic that I had never before placed in a global context. Making the connections between local and global phenomena and hearing the diverse perspectives of our group was an amazing experience. I believe globalhealthU has become a vital means of reasserting our focus as a chapter, and I hope to see this role deepen in the coming year.
