  • 11/6 Global Health Spaces on Campus Virtual Hackathon

    Global Health Spaces on Campus invites you to join us in working towards our common goal, which is to create an open forum for discussing issues related to the health of individuals around the world. We believe that global health is a diverse field with complex problems that require innovative and interdisciplinary solutions.

    To engage this diversity of skill in the field, this year GloHSOC is organizing our 2nd Annual Global Health Hackathon: Vaccine Victory! This online event, which will be held from November 6-8, invites students from all different majors and backgrounds to come together and create innovative solutions to pressing issues in global health. The theme for this year seeks to explore innovative ways to better vaccinations, including vaccine development, distribution, and administration. We will foster student innovation from across UConn and other schools throughout Connecticut, and provide an opportunity for students to challenge themselves and gain a greater understanding of Global Health.

     Registration for this event is now open! You can register individually or with a team of students, until 11/4. The first 50 participants to register will be mailed free T-Shirts. Cash prizes up to $750 as well!
