U.Va.'s Commitment to Global Health 
Date and Time: S 24 October, 10:00AM
Location: Alumni Hall 
Description/Speaker: Rebecca Dillingham, M.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Infectious Diseases

Health transcends all geographic, cultural, religious and economic barriers and is perhaps one of our most universal and unassailable human values. Health provides a shared goal around which we can build desperately needed consensus across our national and global chasms of disagreement and disparity.

Rebecca Dillingham, M.D., is an expert in tropical infectious diseases and a leader in U.V.a's pioneering TransUniversity Center for Global Health and argues that our very survival depends upon our learning that "how you do will determine how I do!" Hence our destiny may well be determined by a recognition and declaration of our interdependence. Life changing experiences at U.Va. open this critical perspective upon which our children's future depends.
