First, we've already gotten $1800 donations since our last trip!
Second, we've gotten commitments for $2000 to go toward supporting classrooms next year!
Now related to my job: I gave a presentation yesterday at the medical center to the head-honchos (better known as the Dean's Teams Council) on the proposed Office of Global Health. The presentation was well-received (per others feedback to me). Then, last evening, at a dinner for faculty-students one student asked a question of the Vice Dean for Education: "So we've heard a rumor that there might be an office of global health...?" So in front of about 200 people it was officially announced that our medical school now has an Office of Global Health (directed by your truly).
That's really exciting, and I've had a few emails already of faculty who are interested in collaborating in some way.
