The Global Health Program is co-directed by Drs. Stoltzfus and Johnson, supported by a Global Health Advisory Board composed of faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students from across colleges and departments, representing diverse disciplines related to global health. On the Ithaca campus, a global health program office offers a place for students to meet with the program coordinator, who can answer advising and career questions, and make appropriate referrals to faculty. Jeanne Moseley, the program coordinator, is student-focused and brings personal experience to the program from her work with HIV issues in Africa and New York City.
Cornell has a uniquely broad academic platform for addressing global health problems. Some of these disciplines include infectious disease, entomology, veterinary medicine, ethics and social justice, philosophy, medical anthropology, nutrition and agriculture/forestry. The unique insight and experience each Advisory Board member brings to the meetings create lively debate and conversation, and serve to create a truly multidisciplinary global health program at Cornell.
