> "The Global Women's Health and Empowerment Summer Institute was one of the
> most transformative course experiences I've had in my academic career.  It
> is a unique opportunity to learn from incredibly passionate professors and
> guest lecturers who have spent years working in the global setting and who
> are experts in their respective fields.  They are eager to meet with
> students and I still keep in contact with them. What really separates this
> course from most others is the opportunity it provides to learn from and
> become inspired by your peers.   I highly recommend it!”  ****

> "I chose to attend the Women's Health and Empowerment Summer Institute
> just prior to beginning the Global Health Sciences MS program at UCSF. Not
> only did it prepare me for graduate level learning, it fed my deep-seated
> interest in the intersection of Women's Studies and health. The core
> professors and guest speakers managed to challenge an already engaged group
> of students - they were able to cover a wide range of disciplines without
> oversimplifying critical concepts. I would highly recommend this
> institute!" ****

> “The Women's Health and Empowerment Summer Institute has been the best
> single learning experience of my graduate studies. The diversity of the
> topics, disciplines, faculty and classmates  is unique and impressive. The
> way the program weaves all of these elements together gave me a new,
> holistic way of looking at health, gender, culture, empowerment, and
> policy. It taught me how to be a partner with the communities being served
> to ensure ultimate program ownership and sustainability.  Through the
> course, we learned how to meld theories, best practices and practical
> creative actions from myriad areas into strategies and programs making a
> lasting, positive difference.”****
