This newly established campus-wide monthly meeting is intended to showcase the exceptional global health work being done by the many units on the Boston University Medical Campus. Sponsored by numerous departments from the Boston University School of Public Health, Medical School, Dental School and Boston Medical Center. The intended audience is everyone: faculty, students or staff interested in hearing about the highly diverse global health work being done at BU.
Come and support our own Professor Chris Gill who will kick-off this inaugural Global Health Grand Rounds session with a discussion of his portfolio of clinical research on childhood pertussis in Zambia.
Dean's Seminar: Global Health Storytelling
Thursday September 28th, 4:30-6:30pm Heibert
#Enough. After the Orlando night club massacre of 49 people in June 2016, the BU School of Public Health created the #Enough campaign to express outrage and sorrow and extend a call to action. This is just one of the many ways to retell the story of homicide, suicide, and injury caused by fire arms. These narratives focus on fractured communities, devastated families, and lives lost at each end of the gun. As public health activists and researchers rewrite this polarizing tale we have an opportunity to work closely with journalists and artists to combine numbers with real voices and real lives to inspire urgency.
Join the Department of Global Health every Monday from 1:00pm-2:00pm in CT-305 for our weekly lunch seminar series as we invite colleagues in the field to come and present on their research.

Program Management
Welcome and welcome back to our Program Management certificate students! Several exciting things have happened in the PM certificate.
- In case you didn't hear, Jennifer Beard is the new Director and Rachel Pieciak is the new Program Manager of the certificate. They can both be found on the third floor of the Crosstown Building and are happy to meet with you to discuss your academic and professional goals, classes or life in general.
- Some of your classmates have now started their work on the PM Integrative Learning Experience (ILE), a 0-credit graduation requirement of all MPH students. If you plan to graduate in January 2018, you must complete your ILE during the Fall semester.
- We hope you will join us for a certificate lunch on Friday, September 22 from 12:00-1:00 pm to catch up and to get ready for the upcoming academic year (more information coming soon). Let's make it a great one!
