Lindsey Allen
GSBF 2015 with Solar Sister
London School of Economics, Master of Science in Environment and Development
“Over the course of my research and work in emerging markets, I have come to recognize that many of the development challenges I witnessed are rooted in the vulnerabilities that exist in local food systems. With this in mind, I pursued a postgraduate program that would give me a stronger foundation in food policy, political ecology, and development theory so I can have a greater impact in agricultural development strategies. “

David Hong
GSBF 2016 with Asdenic
Rush Medical College, Doctor of Medicine Program, MD
“When applying, Rush stood out as one of the most dedicated and committed medical schools in addressing health inequality and disparity within healthcare in the communities they reside in. My hope, in attending Rush, is to not only become a great clinician, but one who additionally understands the social, economic, and environmental factors that contribute to health–and to actively work towards finding solutions both inside the hospital and outside of it as well.”
Grace Krueger

University of California, Berkeley – School of Public Health, Master of Public Health in Maternal, Child & Adolescent Health Program

Grace is excited to further develop her research and statistical analysis skills at UC Berkeley and hopes to apply her new skills to empower global communities to reduce health care disparities.”

University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine – Doctorate in Medicine.”

Esther Bartlett

However, I chose to attend Northstate because I quickly recognized that this community is highly motivated, accomplished, socially competent, innovative, and collaborative!”
