Global Health Meet and Greet: A Networking Event for Students and Global Health Professional
Saturday, November 11, 2017
9:30am-2:30pm
HESS Center for Science & Medicine, 1470 Madison Avenue
Event details and registration
A networking event where global health workers can speak with students who are looking for information about working in global health from the perspective of someone who has actually worked in the field. The morning session will consist of three panels, answering the question:
How can we strengthen the collaborations between public health professionals and clinicians to strengthen sustainable programmatic services (deliver interventions) to vulnerable populations both locally and globally?
The afternoon session will be a ‘meet and greet’ session where representatives will be seated at round tables, able to meet with a small group of students at a time, and to address students’ questions on their organization’s key programs, career paths and opportunities in their respective fields as well as their own professional journey, including key resources and steps that led to their current position. There will be people from such organizations as Doctors Without Borders, Pure Earth, ARCHIVE Global, EcoHealth Alliance, Doctors for Global Health, Global Health Corps, and more!
Please note that this is not a career/internship fair but rather an opportunity to learn about the work of different global health organizations and professionals.

“Telling a coherent story to an incoherent society: choosing the future of public health in a time of climate change”
Thursday, April 20, 2017, 5-8 pm
Annenberg Building - 13th Floor- 13-01
In 2015, 194 countries (including the US and China) met in Paris, where they agreed to curb greenhouse gases below levels that would warm the planet beyond the 2°C limit, a change that is regarded as the threshold beyond which climate impacts become critical for society.
We're currently burning through our 'carbon budget' at a rate that will breach this limit in about 18 years. In that span of time, we need to rebuild our entire energy infrastructure to complete the shift to clean power. And we need to change our economies and ways of life to fit within a new system of producing and using energy.
The reduction of air pollution alone will provide a lift to global well-being, but beyond that, prompt action will allow us to keep more of what we have and make a safe, prosperous planet for the next generation. How can we achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, which include cutting our emissions in half each decade, beginning in 2020?
The urgency of increasing awareness on climate change for the public health community is underscored by this year's theme title: "Creating the Healthiest Nation: Climate Changes Health". Our panelists bring their thoughts and experiences to this talk, on a subject that is fundamental to the future of public health.
Panelists:
Margaret Klein Salamon, PhD, is the founder and director of Climate Mobilization. Klein Salamon earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from Adelphi University and holds a BA in Social Anthropology from Harvard. Her essays, The Transformative Power of Climate Truth and Leading the Public into Emergency Mode: a New Direction for the Climate Movement, have helped catalyze the formation of the climate emergency movement which advocates not "climate action" but rather, an emergency mobilization of our society and economy to avert catastrophe and restore a safe climate.
Nicole Crescimanno, NYC co-leader of Citizen's Climate Lobby. In addition to her work with CCL, Nicole has worked with the Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions team at Columbia University since January 2014. She recently completed a year-long fellowship with the Young Climate Leaders Network. She is deeply concerned about climate change which inspired her to obtain an M.A. in Climate and Society from Columbia.
Richard Reiss, editor newyork.thecityatlas.org. Richard is a fellow at the CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities, currently developing a program of workshops to educate New Yorkers on climate change and the requirements of the Paris Agreement for emission cuts. Previous non-profit media projects include one-country.com, a proposal for a multimedia documentary about the US, and artistascitizen.org, a creative platform for work in the public interest.
1.0 CPH continuing education credits available.
