The workshop is designed for attendees to have the opportunity to write a letter to Congress to persuade the U.S. Government to lobby for global health funding. This is especially relevant today as the U.S. has yet to pass any form of legislation to globally aid in the fight of the COVID-19 pandemic.

FALL 2019: UO Students for Global Health meets on Tuesdays at 6pm in Straub 245.

All majors welcome, and no prior global health knowledge necessary!

We are a student group devoted to social justice and global health equity. We work particularly against diseases that most adversely affect people living in poverty and the conditions that make them vulnerable by raising awareness and funds on campus. Through the student network Partners in Health Engage, we raise money and awareness for health-related causes at the local, national and global levels. We meet weekly to learn, discuss, and plan events. We’d love to have you at our meetings!
