Student voices shaping global health: Meet our Student Advisory Board

The Student Advisory Board is a platform for student-led engagement at the University of Copenhagen. Starting in 2025, members will act as liaisons between their academic communities and the School, raising concerns, promoting engagement, and supporting student-driven projects. 

Voices from the Board: What drives these global health advocates? 

We asked our student board members to reflect on their interests, inspirations, and hopes for the future of global health. Their responses reveal a rich tapestry of passion, purpose, and personal connection. 

🔹 Alexander Krüger Kjær — MSc in Medicine 

“My hope is to see continuous progress in the prevention of diseases, particularly in vulnerable low-income countries… Partnerships that turn simple health-promoting ideas into real changes inspire me.” 

🔹 Alison Lodal Hinklom — MSc in Global Health 

“Living between two very different cultures has profoundly shaped my global health interests and motivates me to bridge gaps in healthcare access and equity.” 

🔹 Anna Panagopoulou — MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences 

“I imagine communities being solidarized not only for collective prosperity but also for environmental sustainability… My classmates are a window to the world for me.” 

🔹 Anniken Høeg Halvorsen — MSc in Medicine 

“I envision a global health future that is not siloed but interconnected… where radical hope and honest conversations drive real, actionable change.” 

🔹 Kaylee de Lange — MSc in Global Health

🔹 Linnie Vilda Marie Löfgren — MSc in Global Development
