The University of Notre Dame holds its annual activities fair tonight, and the members of GlobeMed are very excited to welcome our new members! As the start of our next year of "greatness in Geddes" nears ever closer, we here at the GlobeMed blog have decided to start a "who's-who" of our Executive Board staff in order to let our new members get to know who everyone is and what exactly it is that they do.
We are going to begin with one of our two GhU coordinators, sophomore Luke Maillie. Our GhU coordinators are two of the most important pieces in our global health puzzle, as we will be hearing from them every week in regards to the latest developments and challenges faced all around the healthcare world. Luke is the younger member of our GhU duo, but he is a force to be reckoned with, as he spent the past summer away from his native Lancaster, Pennsylvania, working and researching in a hosptial in Shirati, Tanzinia. He not only hails from St. Edward's Hall, widely regarded by experts as the greatest residence hall on Notre Dame's campus, but also helped lead the legendary Sted's Racquetball team last fall (his jersey number will likely be retired throughout the league this season). You should probably call him Luke, but he also reportedly responds to "Carrot."
When asked what it is that makes him love GlobeMed so much, Luke pointed directly to "working with grassroots organizations in developing countries instead of telling them what to do in order to find the best ways to improve locals' lives and to empower local change makers." New members will quickly find that Luke is not only an expert in his craft but also a great teacher, as his and Jenn's weekly GhU talks will not only bring new information to the forefront but also every member to formulate their own ideas and views of the problem at hand and develop their own individual solutions for the future.
Stay tuned to get to know the rest of our E-Board here at GlobeMed! We look forward to welcoming our new members and getting to know you all better in the coming year!
