UNIVERSITY COALITIONS for GLOBAL HEALTH

At the national and international levels, UCGH brings together leaders from global health-focused, student-serving organizations to harmonize efforts and collaborate on events and projects. These UCGH organizational members are called National Member Organizations (NMOs).

UCGH has two working groups for NMOs: Global Health Advocacy and Education and Professional Development. These working groups provide the space for national coordinators to synergize efforts on projects and campaigns.

As a NMO your organization will be able to…

• Network and pool resources with other UCGH organizations
• Collaborate with others on campaigns and projects
• Receive information about legislative news and events
• Help guide the direction of UCGH
• Run for a UCGH Steering Committee position
• Utilize UCGH materials and resources
• Post job and internship postings onto the UCGH website
• Tap into global health projects at universities
• Participate in UCGH working group meetings
• Post information to the UCGH website, blog, calendar and listserv

Who can be an NMO?

All national/international student global health-focused organizations are encouraged to apply. The following are requirements of NMOs:

• Attend at least one UCGH working group meeting a quarter
• Place a link to the UCGH website on your organization’s webpage
• Be willing to partner and collaborate on projects and campaigns
• Have student representation at many different colleges or universities
• Organizational activities must fit into one of the UCGH working groups
