President Bill Clinton Praises UAEM’s Work at Yale Law School

President Clinton was in New Haven for his 35th law school reunion, and spoke to a large hall of gathered alumni about America’s role in the world, including the importance of UAEM’s work on global health. President Clinton told the crowd: “I like [their work] because that is an example of how we turn good intentions into positive changes.” President Clinton’s comments represent just one of the many high profile endorsements UAEM has recently received--including nine Nobel Laureates and dozens of leaders in the fields of science, medicine, public health, law, and economics.

If you are a Yale alum who heard about UAEM through President Clinton’s speech, you can help make President Clinton’s vision a reality. Alumni are incredibly important to Yale University; please call on Yale to be a leader on access to medicines issues. Specifically...

Dear President Levin,

My name is X, and I am a Yale Law School alum, class of Y. I recently attended my law school reunion and heard President Clinton speak about global health and the role that universities can play in ensuring that people in the developing world have access to lifesaving medications. Yale is a great research university, and serves an important public mission. I urge you to make Yale a leader on access to medicines by ensuring that medications developed from Yale research are affordable to people in developing countries.

Sincerely,

X
