SPH Public Health Club student awarded at Global WHO

October 29 - November 1, 2024 - Aashita Joshi, a junior at University High School on the University of Memphis campus in Memphis, TN, recently attended the Global Model World Health Organization Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Representing Ethiopia, Aashita exemplified diplomacy and leadership throughout the conference. She collaborated with delegates from other countries, ensured their voices were heard, and demonstrated both teamwork and leadership. On the final day, Aashita's efforts were recognized when she received the Diplomacy Award at the Global Model WHO closing plenary at the Palais des Nations at the United Nations. We look forward to seeing how this experience shapes her future in public health.

Aashita was one of the first students to get engaged in University High RE-AIM Public Health IDEAS Club initiative by SPH. We are proud of this global recognition for one of our RE-AIM Public Health IDEAS Club students.
