Thank you for attending the

2018 triangle global health

career day!

What our attendees had to say...
​
All of the discussions were extremely insightful and helpful! I left with so much information to help build my public/global health career.
​
I loved getting lost in all things global health. As well, I appreciated the real language surrounding work, life balance, tenacity, and more.
​
My favorite aspect of the day was variety. The content of events offered by TGHC is consistently high, and the sections are appropriately timed. Nothing carried on too long, and I felt engaged throughout the day.
