The Global Health Studies Program provides senior undergraduates with opportunities to deepen their intellectual training and apply their skills to real-world problems.

In the practicum component of the Senior Global Health Colloquium, students work with Jackson’s global health faculty and with clients to analyze significant concerns in global health leadership and policymaking. Clients are drawn from government and non-governmental organizations, non-profits, multilateral development organizations, and global health agencies.

After conducting interviews, research, and analysis, the teams produce policy briefs establishing their key findings and recommendations. These publications reflect this work.

In 2025, three policy briefs were published:

• In Pursuit of Sustainable Peace
• Climate Advocacy through Collective Action: Recommendations for Environmental Health Policy
• Promoting Forcibly Displaced Children’s Mental Health Through Educational Intervention
