Leadership Institute
Starting in 2007, GlobeMed began each academic year with Leadership Institute, a multi-day conference to prepare students with the knowledge and resources to run high-caliber student organizations.
GlobeMed’s experiential learning opportunities picked up where the classroom leaves off, transforming students from passionate, curious youth into visionary leaders and change-makers. Leadership Institute was where transformation began as students united to learn about themselves, each other, and the potential they have as a network of global health equity leaders.
In addition to learning from one another, student leaders who attended Leadership Institute had the opportunity to hear from a wide range of professionals working in social change. Leadership Institutes have been strengthened through the participation of individuals such as Stephanie Kimou from Population Works Africa, Tom Kawalec from Accenture, Bella Bahhs from #LetUsBreathe Collective, Ed Cardoza from Still Harbor, Donna Barry from Partners in Health, and Adam Goodman from Northwestern’s Center for Leadership, among others.
“Leadership Institute opened up my eyes to social justice issues that are happening around the world and even in the United States. I learned that in order to be an effective leader for social justice and anti-oppression, I must be open minded, well informed and speak up when I see wrong doings.”
