The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health will host an exhibition developed by the National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine. “Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health” will be on display Feb. 6-13 in the atrium of the school’s Michael Hooker Research Center.
Topics addressed in the display include community health, food, war, AIDS, disease prevention, health disparities and global collaboration.
“This display will provide the visual illustration of these critical global health topics that truly resonate with people,” said Margaret (Peggy) Bentley, Ph.D., associate dean for global health, professor of nutrition and associate director of the UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases. “I expect our students, faculty and staff to be moved by this exhibit and continue to be inspired to address these issues through our research, service and teaching.”
Support for the traveling exhibition is provided by Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce. The Association of Schools of Public Health covered shipping charges for interested member schools.
The UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health is located at 135 Dauer Drive. The Hooker Research Center can also be accessed from Columbia Street, across from the Health Sciences Library and the School of Dentistry.
