Give it up for one of our truly remarkable Dickey Center graduates: Ramsey Ash ‘24 has been a Global Health Fellow and was active with the Dartmouth Coalition for Global Health. After studying health care network vulnerabilities with Dr. Erika Moen at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine during his sophomore year, Ramsey went on to do a global health internship in Hanoi, Vietnam, with PHAD (Institute of Population, Health and Development) through the Dickey Center. He studied how cross-cultural differences can affect the quality of eldercare. "It's the norm in the U.S. to hire trained caregivers for senior citizens, but in Vietnam, where intergenerational living situations are common, that's rather unheard of. [...] In fact, my research showed that medically trained individuals do not provide the same level of care as family members in the Vietnamese context," he told 3D Magazine earlier this year.

But we also wanted to celebrate Ramsey’s recent receipt of the Sudler Prize in the Arts—awarded to a graduating student who, "[...] has made an indelible mark on Dartmouth through creative and performing arts." Yep, that’s right: not only is this QSS & Music Double Major passionate about public health, he’s also an accomplished musician.

Congratulations, Ramsey! We can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.
