Featured Global Health Club: The Global Health Student Council (us!)
The Global Health Student Council is a student run organization that provides the Cornell community with a centralized location for students and organizations to gain information on global health issues and various global health events taking place on campus. We seek to connect organizations and students with a passion for global health and a desire to alleviate the health disparities within our world to each other and to the Cornell Global Health Program in order to better face these problems. In addition to facilitating the communication between all global health related organizations, the GHSC provides guidance in successful execution of club events through informational panels and organizational meetings.

On April 23rd, AKPsi, DSP, BSU, CHI, GlobeMed, and PhiDE are collaborating to raise funds and awareness for Floating Doctors. The event, Fishbowls for Floating Doctors, will start at 8pm at Level B. Tickets can be purchased online for $8 viawww.floatingdoctors.com/Cornell2014 (the link will go live early next week) and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Floating Doctors. From 8pm-10pm, anyone who has purchased a ticket will be able to purchase well drinks/beer/shots for just $2, as well as special tropical-themed mango and lime flavored fishbowls.
Bid Night for Bed Nets
Friday, May 2nd, 8-11pm, Sigma Pi Fraternity
This date auction-style philanthropic event is dedicated to increasing awareness about malaria and raising funds for the Network against Malaria organization based in Uganda. In Africa, one child dies every minute from Malaria. Network against Malaria is an organization devoted to providing bed-nets for both school-age children, and, pregnant mothers who may pass malaria to their children. Given that Malaria has been the root cause of over 1.2 million deaths in the past year, Network against Malaria has made it their goal to offer assistance for those communities in-need of better healthcare. Bidnight for Bednets is sponsored by Network Against Malaria, Sigma Pi Fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon, and the Global Health Student Council.
