Learning Opportunities The Global One Health program also advocates for experiential learning and provides mentorship and guidance for students interested in careers in global health, global health security, biodefense, and related opportunities at the intersection of health, science, and policy. In November 2019, the Global One Health program co-hosted the Student Pandemic Simulation with the Scowcroft Pandemic and Biosecurity Policy Program bringing together students from across the University and subject matter experts to practice responding to a pandemic outbreak scenario. Through the Global Health Next Generation Seminar series, the program seeks to highlight for students the varied and rich global health expertise of scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and public servants both within and outside the University. This past year, the program hosted three key events in the series: a lecture by Dr. Martial Ndeffo linking mathematical modeling and the fight to control emerging and neglected diseases; a first annual Global Health Careers panel featuring five accomplished professionals from academia, national security, and defense sectors; and a lecture by Dr. Stefan H.E. Kaufmann, lauded German immunologist and microbiologist. The program actively supports the MSC SCONA annual collegiate conference bringing public health and global health into the national affairs scholarly research and education discussions, giving delegates and other invited national premier academic scholars and industry leaders the opportunity to recognize the importance of One Health on the national security stage. The Global One Health Program is also a champion and supports the development of One Health-related undergraduate, graduate, and professional coursework at the CVMBS, The Bush School of Government & Public Service, and across campus.
