Steering Committee

The 33-member GloCal Steering Committee (SC) is composed of faculty members who lead well-established, international research and training programs, thus reflecting the breadth and depth of global health research in the GloCal Health Fellowship. Each of the four consortium campuses is represented on the SC by both UC and collaborating international partner faculty members, and each of the other six UC campuses are represented on the SC by one faculty member each. The SC is tasked with decisions on the selection of candidates, interviewees and fellows, as well as with advertising the program among colleagues and potential trainees.
