What our attendees had to say...
 

The Triangle Global Health Career Day was an amazing experience to be in the same room as many global health organizations in the area and learn about the work they do. While there I met with a recruiter to learn about the organization and open positions; two months later I was hired. I contribute much of my success in landing a job with this great organization to the Triangle Global Health Career Day and highly recommend it to recent or soon-to-be graduates!
The event was surprising! I was able to connect with people in a way that unique and interesting. The variety of programming was engaging, and the range of employers vital.
