Jeremy Orloff, post baccalaureate student in Columbia’s School of General Studies (GS) and Coordinator for the Center for the Study of Social Difference’s (CSSD) On the Frontlines: Nursing Leadership in Pandemics working group, was recently profiled by GS. The profile highlights Jeremy’s nontraditional academic background and what inspired his pursuit of a career in medicine. Jeremy’s visit to Liberia and Sierra Leone, a research trip to gather oral stories on nursing experiences during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa with the On the Frontlines group, is also explored. He explains that, “The project was my first exposure to global health, and definitely makes me think it is something that I want to do long term and incorporate into the rhythm of my career, regardless of what I do.”
