Hi, I'm Beatrice and I'm in 12th grade at the Nueva School in San Mateo. This is my fourth GOA class, and I chose to take Global Health because I'm interested in medicine and want to learn more about it in intersection with global politics. I'm excited to learn about UN medicine policies.

Hi, my name is Gavin. I'm from San Diego, California, and I'm a sophomore at the Bishop's School. This is my first GOA class, and even my first online class. I chose to take Global Health because I'm interested in healthcare on a global scale. I want to get to know how diseases spread because it's way more complicated than epidemiology. Excited to start!

Hi! I’m Annalise. I’m from Columbus, Ohio. I choose to take Global Health because I think that this will be a great way for me to see medicine on a global scale rather than just in my community and the US. This is my second GOA class. I took Medical Problem Solving two summers ago. I’m most excited to learn about how different characteristics can change the way medicine works for certain people.

Hey everyone! My name is Chloe and I'm a senior at Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia, PA.  This is my first GOA class and I decided to take it because I'm really interested in international relations and biology and because I've always followed stories of disease outbreaks around the world. I also wanted to try taking an online class to open up more time in my schedule and take a different kind of social studies class.
I'm really excited to learn about the history of global academics and about how governments and NGOs are working to manage current ones. Can't wait to meet you all!

Hi! My name is Michaela. I'm a sophomore from San Francisco, California and this will be my first GOA class! I'm really excited. I was especially intrigued by this class because I'm very involved in things that revolve around the disparity that exists, both in my own city and across the world. I think examining the connections between sociology, status, and health will be really interesting. I've n'ever taken a class anything like this, so I'm excited to meet everyone and start.

Hey y'all! My name is Michelle (she/her)! I am a senior at Greenhill School in Dallas, TX. This is actually my second GOA class that I've taken and I don't know a lot about Global Health in general but I'm interested to learn how epidemics really spread and how it effects the world when it happens. I'm really excited to learn about that since it's something we've all heard about at least once or twice in our history and science curriculums but never really get to go in depth so I can't wait to learn more and meet everyone!!

Hey my name is Donna and I'm from San Jose, California. This is my first GOA class ever and I'm excited to learn about Global Health because I'm interested in health past the bubble of the Bay Area (where I live). I don't know much about global health but I'm excited to learn! :)

Hello, my name is Summer and I’m from Kansas City, Missouri. I decided to participate in my first GOA class because a lot of my friends have taken them and enjoyed the way it is set up and what they learned. I’m interested in this class because it broadens my knowledge of how others treat diseases and other medical problems when they do not have access to the higher quality of treatment and hospitals I am familiar with in the United States.

Heya! My name is Anushka and I go to SAS (Singapore American School) I'm a senior and this is my first GOA class. Im super excited for this class because I love both science and sociology, and I'm planning to pursue medicine/veterinary med as a career. My dad actually recommended that I take Global Health just to see what it's about and because it matches with my interests,. I think it'll be interesting to see how people in different locations have dealt with their health, and how they continue to do so.

Hello! My name is Sophie (she/her), and I'm from Calgary, AB, Canada. This is my first GOA class! And I'm very excited to start. I'm taking global health, because I want to pursue a career in medicine but I also enjoy to learn the societal aspects on health around the globe. This seemed like the perfect course to take for my interests. I'm most excited to meet people around the world that all share the passion and interests.

Hello! My name is Lauren (she/her), and I'm from Seattle, WA, USA. This is my second GOA class, I took Medical Problem Solving last year during first semester. I wanted to take this class because I've always been super interested in medicine as well as sociology, and this course seemed like a great way to learn more about these topics. I'm most excited to see specific examples of how someone's location and identity impacts their health.

Hello Everybody! My name is Ximena (She/her, they/them) and I'm from Seattle, WA, USA. This is my first GOA class and I decided to take Global Health because a friend of mine took it last year and it seemed like she was learning really cool things. I haven't gotten the opportunity to be able to learn in an environment that mixes things like sociology and health in the same class and while I do love topics that have to do with sociology I think I need to learn more about the health aspects in general. I thought this class would be a great start.

Hello! I'm Kiran, and I'm from Durham, NC, USA. (Also, just fyi, I use he/him pronouns.) This is actually my third GOA class in the past year (I took Gender Studies second semester last year, and I took Medical Problem Solving over the summer). I wanted to take Global Health because I love applications of science and medicine, and I (like Scottie) am interested in sociology/psychology. Also, my sister-in-law was a Global Health major in college, and her job seems really cool. :) I'm most excited to learn about the factors of identity (race, gender, etc.) and environment (location, GDP, development, etc.) that contribute to a community's health.

Hi! I'm Scottie (she/her) and I'm a senior from Greenhill School in Dallas, TX, USA. This is my first GOA class. I wanted to take this class because I've taken an infectious diseases class before (with the Duke TIP program), but we didn't go very much into the societal part of it. Global health has always been something of interest to me - I have always been really into sociology, and I think this is a really fascinating branch of it. I'm excited to look further into the differences between how we (in the US) address infectious diseases (and the stigma associated with them) versus how underdeveloped areas address infectious diseases.
