During this this On Air event GHFP-II's recruitment and performance specialists will comment on and review a resume from an MPH student at Drexel University. This is a great opportunity to hear from an employer's perspective to learn what you can do to make your resume stand out from the crowd when applying to global health positions.

Global Health Council hosting “The Future of Global Health” conference on April 16th. Register now at a discounted rate!
Global Health Council (GHC) is hosting its second annual The Future of Global Health (#TFGH15) “unconference” on April 16, 2015 at The Hamilton in Washington, DC. Last year this exciting event brought together more than 400 young leaders in global health, current practitioners and advocates to discuss and explore themes emerging around The Future of Global Health. It would be great if students from Boston University’s School of Public Health could attend TFGH15 and continue the conversation this year!
A little more about TFGH15: The Future of Global Health 2015 (TFGH15) is an event for global health unlike any other. It is a unique opportunity to step outside the usual panel discussion format and engage in meaningful conversation with peers and potential mentors. The goal of TFGH15 is to foster connections and increase knowledge through conversations among new and established members of the global health community. This year's event will focus on the global health workplace - the challenges, solutions and skills needed to advance progress on the global health issues of our time. The breadth of sectors - private, non-profit, government, academic and donor - will be represented among the event's discussion group leaders, mentors and attendees.
This event includes:
- Small group conversations with others passionate about global health
- Networking and mentoring opportunities
- Refreshments
- A fun Thursday night, focused on a topic you’re passionate about!
Registration link: www.tfgh15.eventbrite.com. Please note that there is a special discount code for students and professors -- student15 -- which gives you $10 off the original ticket price.
