The event will mostly take place on Sunday the 8th, all day, but there will be a session and a meet & greet Saturday night too. If you are also attending the Canadian Conference on Global Health, you can use a discount code when registering for CCGH if you are already registered for the Summit! --- This summit aims to give space to the issues and concerns of Students and Young Professionals (SYPs) in global health, to connect those passionate about the field and make lasting connections. The event aims to answer global health questions of WHAT? the upcoming global health issues are, according to SYPs; WHERE? global health is taking place in Canada; HOW? SYPs can get involved and support each other in their careers, through maintaining strong networks, learning about mentorship, and making goal-oriented career plans. The story starts over many coffees (or wine), as many stories start. There is a need, a demand, a group of talented and driven individuals who are knocking at the door. And they are asking for a chance. A chance to sit at the table. A chance to contribute. A chance to put their knowledge to work. A chance to make a difference in global health. We are these people.    Students and Young Professionals (SYPs) was a term coined by the Canadian Society for International Health's mentorship program, MentorNet. The term looks to include those that are still eager to learn, despite technically having left the academic environment. Young professionals are not necesarrilly young, but young in their career and since it is common for individuals to change careers multiple times, being a young professional is not agre restrictive! The group of people we consider SYPs are not only eager to learn, but fiece contributors to society and passionately involved in the world around them. SYPs are the movers and shakers of the next century. For more information: -Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/708521785957897/ -Webpage www.ghsummit.com
