Rotaract at the BU School of Public Health

The BUSPH Rotaract club is a leading student organization on the Boston
University Medical Campus. Most of our active members are students in
Boston University's Master's of Public Health program, so we have a
special focus on activities that address public health issues locally
and internationally. Our projects reflect the overall goals of the
group but also the passions of the students and others who form our
community.

We meet every three weeks from 5-6 PM (Rotating week days) on the BU
Medical Campus in the South End of Boston. We also meet socially about
once a month at a local restaurant. Our members educate the BUSPH
community through speakers, videos and visual displays; raise funds for
public health projects overseas; and provide hands-on service to local
organizations. In addition, we provide each other with friendship and
support during our time at BUSPH.

Highlights of 2007 include:
A month long fund-raising campaign that won the international Malaria
Cup and raised money for the purchase of over 1,100 bed nets for
malaria prevention in developing countries;
A town hall discussion to educate the community and promote action
regarding  the growing industry of modern slavery;
A week long Change War on the medical campus that raised $600 for
treating neglected tropical diseases; and
Working with a local agriculture program (the Food Project) to harvest
their fall crops.
