The Office of Global Affairs has selected two winners for the inaugural campus Global Service Award – Christine Folch, assistant professor of cultural anthropology and environmental science and policy, and Anne Sjostrom, associate dean of undergraduate admissions.
“We had so many great nominations that the selection committee decided to give one award to a faculty member and another to staff,” says Eve Duffy, associate vice provost of global affairs.
One of the things that was unfortunate about the Trump administration s approach to the pandemic, was that they chose not to participate in the COVAX facility, said Ramirez, a former HHS pandemic and emerging threats coordinator in the Office of Global Affairs. The COVAX facility was a way for emerging countries to jointly invest in vaccines and have access to all of these resources.
According to a report from NBC News, while vaccines are currently rolling out in rich countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, poorer countries around the globe could potentially have to wait for years to see any doses.
