Cornell Global Health Minor
"The Global Health Program is a new and innovative university-wide training program at Cornell University that aims to engage undergraduate, graduate, and medical students and faculty from multiple disciplines to solve problems of global health.

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."

Cornell University Public Service Center
"Cornell University's Public Service Center is a service organization connecting Cornell students, faculty, and alumni with community organizations.

Founded in 1991, the mission of the Public Service Center is to champion the conviction that the Cornell University experience confirms service as essential to active citizenship. To fulfill this mission, the Public Service Center has chosen service-learning as the educational philosophy to guide its programs. A service-learning approach enhances and reinforces academic learning with practical experiences, strengthens civic values and moral character, and responds to community needs. Service-learning fosters service to others, community development and empowerment, and reciprocal learning through participants' social and educational interactions."

Malaria No More
"Malaria No More's mission is simple: to end deaths due to malaria. The world has known how to beat this disease for more than a century, yet it remains the number one killer of children under five in sub-Saharan Africa, claiming more than 1 million lives a year. Malaria No More engages individuals, organizations, and corporations in the private sector to provide life-saving bed nets and other critical interventions to families in need. Together these investments will significantly reduce malaria infections and make malaria-related deaths a thing of the past.

Founded in 2006 by leading non-governmental institutions, Malaria No More works in partnership with the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), UNICEF, the American Red Cross, the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Millennium Promise, United Way of America, United Nations Foundation, the Global Business Coalition and others."

Nothing But Net
"Nothing But Nets is a grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. While the UN Foundation has been working with the UN to fight malaria for years, it was a column that Rick Reilly wrote about malaria in Sports Illustrated, challenging each of his readers to donate at least $10 for the purchase of an anti-malaria bed nets -- and the incredible response from thousands of Americans across the country -- that led to the creation the Nothing But Nets campaign."

GHEI
"The Ghana Health and Education Initiative is a grassroots village-based non-profit development organization that aims to build the capacity of local communities to improve their own level of health and education through sustainable and participatory programs."
