Congratulations to Oladele “Dele” Ogunseitan, PhD, UC Presidential Chair and Professor of Population Health and Disease Prevention, who was recently elected to a 2-year term as co-chair of the Competency subcommittee of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH). Ogunseitan will play a critical role leading the group’s efforts to advance global health curricula development and redefine global health competencies to capture a broader range of training and job expectations students will encounter during their careers in the field.

CUGH is a Washington D.C.-based organization, comprised of over 170 academic institutions, including UCI Public Health, and other entities from around the world. As a member institution, UCI works with the group to improve the well-being of people and the planet through education, research, service, and advocacy.

Ogunseitan’s work in global health will be highlighted on a special panel as part of the 13th Annual CUGH Global Health Conference, titled: Environmental Justice for Human and Planetary Health.
