GBM #2: SDG 17- Partnership for the Goals

Another successful meeting in the books! Last night, we were joined by Dr. Dana Naughton, a professor of Biobehavioral Health. Dr. Naughton gave a fantastic presentation on global terminology origins and the state of terms' current acceptability. We followed her presentation with an exploration of SDG #17 and discussed the importance of global partnership as well as featured the UN's current partnership programmes and agencies. After, members engaged in fantastic roundtable on SDG #17 and Dr. Naughton's presentation! As an executive board, we are very excited to be reviewing applications for leadership positions, as our full executive board will be announced at next week's meeting!

Penn State UNA-USA's First GBM!

On September 7th, Penn State's chapter of UNA-USA met for their first general body meeting! The cohort covered the basics of UNA-USA membership, leadership opportunities, and future plans for advocacy and summits! We were so excited to be introduced to all of our members and hear about each of their favorite SDGs. We had great conversations about future meeting topics, personal backgrounds and involvement, and what the UN's work means to us! We are so excited to move forward with this amazing cohort to achieve great things!
