Learn more about our collaborations

The Institute for Global Health provides an opportunity for the UMass Amherst campus, the UMass System, IGH Partners and Collaborators and the broader community to engage in discussions focused on addressing global health challenges.  Multiple perspectives are necessary to inform solutions to global health problems that should include representation from every school and college on the UMass Amherst campus, and indeed the surrounding institutions and communities.

In the Spotlight

"By facilitating an exchange of ideas and collaborations, the IGH aims to address health disparities and inequities across the globe. As director of the IGH, I will work to strengthen our strategic partnerships both within the campus and outside, and to provide opportunities for students to explore multidisciplinary issues in global health through education and engagement in global health activities."
