Updates and Reminder!

[UO Students for Global Health]

Hello SGHers,

Hope summer has been awesome, filled with lots of sun and lots of sleep. With school just around the corner, I wanted to check in about the upcoming week.

On Friday, September 23rd, we will tabling at Intermingle. Intermingle is a day to recruit new members and raise awareness about Students for Global Health. We will have Global Health Jeopardy board game as well as prizes. We need people to table, so please, if you have an hour to spare on Friday 9/23, anytime from 5pm-11pm, respond to this email!

The Fall Conference is coming up! We will definitely talk about it in detail at our first meeting, but I just wanted to send out a reminder to start thinking about attending. The conference will be held at Stanford University, October 13-16th. There is a fee, but SGH is currently looking into financial aids.

Here is a link to the Face AIDS information page:

On another note, we are currently looking for two board positions to be filled. The Director of Campus Outreach and Finance and the Director of Events positions both need to be filled. If you are interested, please respond to this email. You can definitely share a position with another SGHer to lighten the load.

Here are position descriptions:

Sorry for the length of this email, but there is a lot to get through! The time and locations of our meetings are still TBD, but they will probably be on Wednesdays around 7 in Gerlinger.

Once again, if you are at all interested in helping out at Intermingle, the Back to School Campaign, or running for a board position, respond to this email or give me a call.

Thanks!
