Dear (enter Professor/Professional’s name),

On behalf of GlobeMed at UCLA, we would like to invite you to speak at our first annual

Global Career Panel on May 14th, 2013 from 6 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

GlobeMed is a student-run, non-profit organization that aims to strengthen the movement

for global health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to

improve the health of people living in poverty around the world. Our chapter here at

UCLA is partnered with the Nwoya Youth Center in Anaka, Uganda. We help fundraise

for the center throughout the year and send a team of students in the summer to work

along side the center’s staff to monitor and evaluate current projects and formulate new

ones. Our current programs include sanitary pad distributions for adolescent girls,

condom awareness and education, counseling and outreaches to special needs groups

such as Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), HIV-positive adolescents.

Not only are we focused on working with our partner, but we also have a commitment to

educate others and ourselves about global health. In addition to our weekly curriculum in

meeting, we organize events to educate the community such as documentary screenings,

activity fairs and panel discussion. We felt that a panel centered on careers in global

health and international development would greatly benefit many of the members of

GlobeMed and the UCLA community at large.

We would be honored if you would speak at our panel. You would be asked introduce

yourself, give a brief summary of your work and answer any questions that students may

have. Please let us know if you are interested. Thank you.

Sincerely,

GlobeMed at UCLA
