---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Theresa Stone <theresa@monsterinvasion.com> Date: Fri, May 6, 2011 at 11:15 Hello, I am currently a Masters of Communication in Digital Media Grad student (MCDM). I am hoping to recruit some students and/or faculty who be interested in helping with the planning of the Western Regional Health Conference. We as communications and technology professionals have an opportunity to create a portion of the Health Conference that would be dedicated to how Communication and Technology can create social change and specifically, how that change can impact global health. Here is the exact description from the Global Health Department… The 9th Annual Western Regional International Health Conference is looking for students with a background in Communications and/or Technology to participate on their student planning committee. This high-profile event occurs in collaboration with many other institutions across the region. The student committee is primary responsible for planning this large-scale conference from start to finish. The conference has attracted 750-1000 people in past years. This year's theme is: At a Crossroads: Setting a New Agenda for Global Health. There are 6 tracks in this conference, one of them being Navigating the Course: Communications and Technology. The student planning committee will primarily work in subcommittees and we will meet every other week on Mondays for an hour. In summer we will move our meetings to once a month, and resume meetings twice a month until the conference occurs in April 2012. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with advising faculty and work with other students from all over campus. Each track has at least one advising faculty to consult with regarding session ideas and speaker contacts. The goal is to meet every other week on Monday nights to form our segment for the event (only once a month over the summer). Even if you can't make it to every meeting I would love to get your contributions and involvment in helping develop our agenda for the event and help recommend speakers/topics. The next meeting is Monday, May 9 (5:30-6:45) @ Harris Hydraulics Building, Room 322 (All the way down main hall, to your right) 1705 N.E. Pacific St. Please let me know if you are interested or would like additional information. Thanks!
