Event: HillTop Conference 2017 International Public Health and Marginalized Communities

HillTop Conference 2017
ELEVATE: International Public Health and Marginalized Communities 

ABOUT HILLTOP: The HillTop Conference serves as an educational opportunity for undergraduate students at over 15 universities across the U.S. East Coast to learn from individuals and organizations that are spearheading movements for health equity. This year, Columbia HillTop will bring together academics, health professionals, and activists who specialize in community-based health projects for three days of lectures, group discussions, and breakout sessions. The conference will focus on vulnerable and marginalized populations that have been historically excluded from global and public health movements.

REGISTRATION: The cost of registration is either $15 (conference only) or $30 (conference + four meals). All proceeds from the conference will be used to support Columbia GlobeMed's partner organization, Gulu Women’s Economic Empowerment and Globalization, a humanitarian organization in Northern Uganda. We strive to make this conference as accessible as possible, so we encourage prospective delegates unable to cover the cost of registration to reach out to us at columbiahilltop@gmail.com.

Visit the HillTop website to register for the event. Registration must be completed no later than Sunday, October 22, 2017 at 11:59PM EST to attend. We will send further information regarding the event schedule and logistics to attendees once registration has closed.
