Upcoming Events

The Carter Center was founded by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, in 1982 to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope in communities worldwide. A not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization, the Center has worked in more than 80 countries to resolve conflicts, advance democracy, protect human rights, prevent disease, and improve mental health care.   The Carter Center’s health programs fill vacuums in global health, helping to prevent needless suffering and build hope for millions of the world’s poorest people. A leader in the eradication and elimination of diseases, the Center fights six preventable diseases — Guinea worm, river blindness, trachoma, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria — by using health education and simple, low-cost methods. The Carter Center also strives to improve access to mental health care in the United States and abroad and to diminish the stigma that remains against people with mental illnesses.   This event is open to Columbia Mailman students and alumni.
