Weekly Meetings are Sundays from 7-8 PM in Hillcrest 103
Founded in 2008, GlobeMed at Middlebury College is a chapter of the national organization, GlobeMed, working to improve the health of people living in poverty around the world. In 2010, we began a new partnership with Gardens for Health International, an NGO devoted to providing a sustainable approach to nutritional independence for the people of Rwanda.
The members of GlobeMed at Middlebury work to host fundraising and awareness events on campus during the school year to benefit both our partner and the community at large. We have weekly meetings where we learn about and discuss a topical global health issue, and we also have weekly executive board meeting to plan club meetings, fundraising events, and internal development events. Each summer, we send several chapter members to work on site with Gardens for Health, serving as interns who bring a broad array of academic perspectives and skills to execute our project.
