Welcome to the 2015 GlobeMed Summit! Eight years ago, 40 students from seven chapters gathered in Evanston, Illinois for the very first GlobeMed Summit, creating the initial spark that ignited the GlobeMed Network. From very humble beginnings, the 2015 Summit brings together over 275 students, alumni, grassroots partners, speakers and supporters to share, learn, celebrate and inspire.

Since its founding in 2007, GlobeMed has cultivated over 3,000 leaders for global health by empowering students and communities to work together to advance health equity. We envision a world in which health—the ability to not only survive but thrive—is possible for all people.

As GlobeMed continues to expand, now to over 2,000 students in 54 chapters with partners in 18 countries, we must continue to question and challenge our role in the fight for an equitable world. This year’s Summit, “Facing Injustice: Partnering for Systemic Change,” will challenge you to confront the unjust systems that place greater value on certain lives over others and understand, as university students, the role we play in breaking down these systems. The weekend will be spent investigating systems of injustice, how to build a diverse and inclusive movement, and what kind of leaders we will need to be in order to rebuild a more just and equitable world.

Here at the GlobeMed National Office, we are inspired daily by the incredible work you do. We are incredibly honored and excited to have you with us this weekend to share, learn and build relationships. It is our hope that you enter this experience with an open heart and an open mind and leave with a reaffirmed commitment to social justice. Please enjoy the 2015 GlobeMed Summit!

To you, the supporters who made 2015 GlobeMed Summit possible:

Thank you! Having joined the GlobeMed team just this year, I feel profoundly inspired by this innovative, driven, inclusive network—and very fortunate to be a part of it. Together we have an immense power to redefine the systems that determine health. Because of your participating and support, we will.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Northwestern University for being our home and for its crucial support of the GlobeMed Summit. We offer special thanks to the Buffett Institute for International and Comparative Studies, the Office of the President and Provost, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, the Center for Global Health at Feinberg School of Medicine, and the many other departments and schools that graciously support our work. Northwestern truly is a place that fosters inclusive dialogue and engaged scholarship on critical global issues.

We are very appreciative of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Global Health Fellows Program-II. Through our partnership with GHFP-II, GlobeMed has been able to help remove barriers for talented students of all backgrounds to join the movement for global health equity. Together we are equipping a generation of changemakers that reflects the diversity of the American people.

A heartfelt thanks to the Abbvie Foundation for their ongoing support of GlobeMed. Through their generosity, we’ve grown from an idea into a global network of students, organizations, and communities united around the common belief that health is a human right. From all those whose lives have been touched by GlobeMed’s work, thank you.

Finally, thank you to our incredible students, alumni, and partner organizations who have traveled from around the world to be here this weekend. You bring the power of the Summit to life.

This is a pivotal time for the GlobeMed network and a time of real movement and excitement. We look forward to many more years of progress, celebration, and partnership. Together we can build a world in which every person has the chance to live a healthy and prosperous life.

Sincerely,Bradley HalpernExecutive Director
