The Center for Global Health Equity (CGHE) at the University of Michigan is pleased to announce the formation of its Linkage Committee, a cross-campus body designed to deepen connections between CGHE and the schools, colleges, and units that make up the University of Michigan community.
The Linkage Committee serves as a bridge between CGHE and the broader university, with members acting as liaisons and advocates within their home units. The committee's mission is to expand awareness of global health opportunities, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and ensure that students, faculty, and staff across campus can connect with the center's work and resources.
