UConn’s first Annual Global Health Hackathon: GloHHack 2019 is being organized by UConn Global Health Spaces on Campus. This 24-hour event, which will be held from November 15-16, invites students from all different majors and backgrounds to come together and create innovative solutions to pressing issues in global health.
