About Us
This student organization was initially launched as the Global Health Alliance in March 2011 by student leaders representing Vanderbilt's many global health organizations. We continue to serve as a coordinating body to enhance collaboration and dissemination of information among Vanderbilt students interested in global health. Comprised of graduate and undergraduate students from various schools across the university, the organization brings together students interested in global health with the goal of fostering cross-disciplinary student networking and collaboration. Members of the organization are responsible for bringing the student perspective to the institute, especially with regards to student opportunities and experiences. Students coordinate the annual Global Health Case Competition and the Global Health Symposium.
