2017 Projects for Peace

2017 Projects for Peace

$10,000 grant for undergraduate students

Deadline to apply: January 6th, 2017

Proposal Advising (optional):  November 21 – December 2

The University of Florida, a partner institution in the Davis United World College Scholars Program, is pleased to announce an opportunity for undergraduate students to design a grassroots project for peace anywhere in the world! The Davis Foundation will award the winning project $10,000 for the project to be implemented during the summer of 2016. Undergraduate students use their creativity to design a project that focuses on conflict resolution, reconciliation, building understanding and breaking down barriers that cause conflict. Due to this generous funding, UF students have had the opportunity to travel and perform service projects all over the world (Niger, Brazil, Bolivia, Haiti, Rwanda, Mexico, Tanzania, Cambodia, India, Palestine, Swaziland, Macedonia, and Uganda).

We will also be offering one-on-one proposal advising by appointment from November 21 – December 2. Though we can’t help with the project idea, we will offer guidance on how to improve the written proposal.

Learn more about this program at http://bit.ly/projectsforpeace2017.

2016 Medical externship program recruitment for heart disease in rural China

My name is Meredith, and I work with a medical service non-profit called the China California Heart Watch (www.chinacal.org). 

I wanted to pass along the attached flyer and application for an externship program running this December 2016. Dr. Detrano is a faculty member at UC Irvine Public Health; his team has run externships in Yunnan for the past 8 years. 

I participated as an extern last year and would highly recommend it for pre-med students and/or students considering a public health track. The externship is quite a deep plunge into rural Yunnan China (screening patients for heart disease, clinical intake, training rural doctors) so it would be best if applicants could speak and communicate in Chinese. Field teams will be led by Dr. Detrano himself and a local physician of Kunming Medical University. 

We have a couple of spots for December of this year. The externship will run from Dec 9 to 27. In addition to screening children for congenital heart disease, lectures will incorporate broader issues of healthcare in China. We encourage applications from students who are hardworking and committed to working in a limited resources setting. 

More information: www.chinacal.org. Applicants should email me at meredithfanyang@gmail.com if interested

Navigating Your Dental School Interviews: Oct. 12 Webinar

UF in Cusco Study Abroad with Clinical Experiences

Hi, everyone:

The Study Abroad Fair is now over, we had a nice pair of post-Fair info sessions, and now it’s time to

look at a few numbers related to the UF in Cusco – Service Learning for the Health Professions

program (Summer A 2017).

*$5,776.  This is the cost of the program, and I guarantee you that this is a true study abroad

bargain.  This is not a salesperson talking, it is the 100% truth.  I have been involved in the business

of study abroad for about 15 years, and this program provides more value than I have ever seen.  UF

faculty, service placements, beautiful setting, mind-blowing excursions, etc., etc.—UF in Cusco has it

all!  J

*$12.  This is the cost of the one textbook you will need.  Not bad, eh?

*2.  This is the number of students who have already signed up.  Doesn’t sound like many, right? 

Wrong.  J  That two students have ALREADY signed up for a study abroad program this early (and it

IS very early) tells you something about student interest and demand for the program.  You don’t

need to sign up “tomorrow,” but my advice is to NOT wait until…

*…February 3, 2017, which is the application deadline. The program flyer contains some incorrect information.  UF in Cusco has an earlier deadline, February 3^rd, because we need to arrange the

service placements for all our students.

*M, 12:00-3:00 and W, 2:00-5:00.  These are my Fall office hours (1B Dauer Hall).  Stop by if you have questions, and/or to have your UF in Cusco sheet signed.  The official sign-up process takes place via the UFIC website, but there is one “old-school” piece of paper that requires my signature.

Check out our student-produced website:  www.ufincusco.weebly.com  (which includes a link to the UFIC application page)

Look me up on Facebook for tons of photos:  www.facebook.com/greg.moreland.50/

Take care,

Dr. Moreland

P.S.  In an upcoming message, I’ll provide more information regarding scholarships.
