Student thoughts on the Christian Connections for International Health Conference:
In the summer of 2016, Karis Barker ’16 attended the Christian Connects for International Health conference in Baltimore, Maryland on Johns Hopkins University campus.
“I learned about CCIH at a Thrive4 event (Wheaton Student Club) where I met a former public health nurse. I looked at the website and found out that CCIH had an annual conference. The highlight of the conference for me was being sought out for an internship opportunity because someone noticed on the conference attendance roster that I was a Wheaton College student. It seems that Wheaton College has quite a reputation within the CCIH community… I learned a lot, met great people, and had great conversations.”
What advice would you give students about conference attendance?
“I would suggest that they (students) be open to learning outside of the sessions; I think I gleaned more from casual conversations during breaks and free time…”
