I was able to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experts, and gain further inspiration to pursue work in this field. It was a unique platform for people of all backgrounds, even an undergraduate like myself, to come together and share their knowledge and ideas. “Gaining knowledge is the first step to wisdom. Sharing it is the first step to humanity.” – Unknown This quotation I came across can be applied perfectly to this conference. Throughout the many sessions and speeches, individuals emphasized the need for humanity in health and society. I believe we were already proponents of this fundamental idea by simply having those discussions. The creation of this space where everyone was welcome to contribute and share thoughts is key to growth in whatever discipline or setting. I feel particularly grateful as every single person I interacted with made me feel heard and valued in this empowered environment. These days were an exceptional learning experience as sessions covered a wide array of topics, from advocacy to increasing diversity in global health leadership. Each presentation and discussion was led by experts in the field, providing valuable insights that I could not necessarily gain in a college classroom. The interactive conversations were particularly beneficial, and something I feel should be more prioritized in health education settings. Learning from others so invested in the betterment of global health and engaging in thought-provoking discussions has deepened my passion for the field. This conference was an overall amazing experience. I was able to deepen my understanding of the complexities of global health while fueling my determination to make a positive impact. The connections I made, the knowledge I gained, and the inspiration I gathered from meeting accomplished professionals left an incredible mark on my journey in global health. I am eager to apply what I have learned in college and throughout my future to contribute to creating a healthier, more equitable world. 10 Highlights continued on next page >>
