Committee Descriptions
Campaigns
Campaigns are an integral part of our model, as they serve as our main source of fundraising for our partner organization.
Throughout the year, we put on staple events, which are larger, campus-wide events and individual giving events, which are
consolidated campaigns aimed at reaching out to family and friends. Members of this committee will learn how to plan events
and integrate our partner into our campaigns. Major responsibilities will include brainstorming campaigns, creating publicity
materials, and recruiting an audience.
Communications
Communications covers all of our marketing and advertising materials. This includes social media tools, including our facebook,
twitter, and blog. Members of the communications team will be responsible for documenting all major GlobeMed activities on
these various social media resources and for broadcasting our events and activities to the wider UCLA campus and beyond.
Would be an ideal committee for aspiring graphic designers, filmmakers, bloggers, or anyone interested in creating meaningful
and powerful art!
Community Building
Community building entails creating a strong support system within our chapter and within our network. Partnership is at the
foundation of everything that we do and creating strong senses of friendship between ourselves will help us create stronger
partnerships abroad. We strongly believe that a group of passionate, supportive friends can travel farther than any one individual.
Members of this committee will be responsible for planning socials and retreats, network spotlights (so that we can learn more
about other chapters and partnerships), as well as doing fun, interactive activities within meeting.
globalhealthU
globalhealthU, our signature global health and leadership curriculum, takes learning from the classroom into the world. At
weekly meetings throughout the year, chapter members analyze case studies, explore opposing views, and exchange ideas
through small group discussions and interactive exercises. Through public events such as film screenings, debates, exhibits, and
demonstrations, students engage their broader campus and community. Together, they confront the state of health and human
rights today and ask “Why? What is my role?” Members of the globalhealthU committee will help facilitate discussions and
create activities to engage staff in relevant topics.
Finances
Finances create an important segment of our work. As a chapter, we have raised over $15,000 in the last four years and aim to
exceed the $20,000 (and maybe even $25,000) cumulative mark in the next year. As such, we are a fairly large student-run, nonprofit on campus. The finances team will help track our expenditures and incomes so that we can provide the most amount of
money to our partnership throughout the year. This is a great committee for those interested in managing finances for a non-profit
organization.
