In this webinar, we will discuss two pervasive issues in the US higher education system: the accumulation of student debt and the under-representation of minorities. Both of these issues contribute to the ever-growing disparities seen in global health and the professional workforce in general. This webinar features the work of students from the CUGH Trainee Advisory Committee who partnered with students from universities across the US and internationally to discuss and present solutions to institutions, policymakers, educational advocacy groups, and the general public regarding these two critical issues.

The TAC recently released two white papers on these topics:
