Sierra Leone Global Health and Nutrition Semester Program

The Global Health, Nutrition, Water and Sanitation Program is the opportunity of a lifetime for students to learn about global health while experiencing and living in a rich West African culture. The program is part of a historical collaborative effort between the University of Illinois and Njala University in Sierra Leone. Some courses will be co-taught by faculty from Njala and Illinois and some courses will also include Njala University’s honors students. Through coursework, field excursions, and an internship, this program will take place this fall and puts you in direct contact with the social and economic realities of communities working to improve public health in Sierra Leone. For more information, please attend our information session in 3019 Huff Hall, on Tuesday April 9 at 2:00 p.m.
