Subject: Perspectives in Global Health Conference
The Center for Global Health at UC Denver will be hosting our first annual Perspectives in Global Health Conference at the Auraria Campus in downtown Denver on Friday, October 17th. The goals of this conference are to bring people together to celebrate all of the global health work being done by the people of Colorado and to facilitate a more collaborative approach in future global health initiatives.
The Kauvar Family Lecturer for this event is Dr. Richard H. Carmona, former U.S. Surgeon General (2002-2006) and global health advocate. His keynote presentation will be followed by a series of breakout sessions led by top global health leaders from the community and universities in the area. The day will end with a panel discussion which celebrates contributions of leading Colorado-based non-government organizations. A list of the session topics is at the end of this email.
We need to get the word out about our conference and we can use your help in doing such. Would you please send a note and the following conference link to any associates, friends and others with global health interests? Here’s the URL for the conference webpage and registration.
