Student Reflection<br />
Attending the Second Global Health Conference at<br />
Nuvance Health was a truly enriching experience that<br />
exceeded my expectations and surpassed my goals. I<br />
was able to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experts, and gain<br />
further inspiration to pursue work in this field. It was a unique platform for people<br />
of all backgrounds, even an undergraduate like myself, to come together and<br />
share their knowledge and ideas.<br />
“Gaining knowledge is the first step to wisdom. Sharing it is the first step to<br />
humanity.”<br />
– Unknown<br />
This quotation I came across can be applied perfectly to this conference.<br />
Throughout the many sessions and speeches, individuals emphasized the<br />
need for humanity in health and society. I believe we were already proponents<br />
of this fundamental idea by simply having those discussions. The creation of<br />
this space where everyone was welcome to contribute and share thoughts is<br />
key to growth in whatever discipline or setting. I feel particularly grateful as<br />
every single person I interacted with made me feel heard and valued in this<br />
empowered environment.<br />
These days were an exceptional learning experience as sessions covered a wide<br />
array of topics, from advocacy to increasing diversity in global health leadership.<br />
Each presentation and discussion was led by experts in the field, providing<br />
valuable insights that I could not necessarily gain in a college classroom. The<br />
interactive conversations were particularly beneficial, and something I feel<br />
should be more prioritized in health education settings. Learning from others so<br />
invested in the betterment of global health and engaging in thought-provoking<br />
discussions has deepened my passion for the field.<br />
This conference was an overall amazing experience. I was able to deepen my<br />
understanding of the complexities of global health while fueling my determination<br />
to make a positive impact. The connections I made, the knowledge I gained,<br />
and the inspiration I gathered from meeting accomplished professionals left<br />
an incredible mark on my journey in global health. I am eager to apply what I<br />
have learned in college and throughout my future to contribute to creating a<br />
healthier, more equitable world.<br />
