About:
The purpose of VIGH SAC is to bring together diverse students interested in global health with the goal of fostering cross-disciplinary student networking and collaboration. SAC is comprised of graduate and undergraduate students from various schools across the university.

SAC members work to connect students to global health experiences and knowledge through general events and planning our two big events: the Global Health Symposium and Global Health Case Competition. Being on SAC provides a fantastic opportunity to design global health events, such as the case competition, symposium, and monthly GBMs, and to build your leadership skills. There are three SAC teams, each responsible for one of the following:
  • Global Health Alliance (GHA), which is a coalition of global health student organizations across campus that host events such as speaker series or community-building activities. The goal is to allow students who are interested in global health to network and learn from each other and from professionals such as guest speakers.
  • Global Health Case Competition (GHCC), which is held in the spring (usually February) and allows students from across the university participate in multidisciplinary, multi-school teams to tackle a real-life global health case, working together to develop an innovative solution.
  • Global Health Symposium (GHS), which is held in the spring (usually April) and allows Vanderbilt community members to showcase their research or project in global, public health and related fields.
