An Evening with Barbara Pierce Bush

  • Feature Stories

Barbara Pierce BushBarbara Pierce Bush, an entrepreneur, champion of social justice, and daughter of former President George W. Bush, lends her voice to the complex issue of global healthcare on March 24, 2015, as the ninth guest speaker of the Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program. Her address – which comments on the healthcare-related challenges currently limiting developing nations and how people can make a difference – is part of a larger visit that includes intimate discussions with students, faculty, staff, and members of the public.

As co-founder and chief executive officer of Global Health Corps, an organization connecting young leaders with nonprofit organizations working to promote global health equity, Bush has fully committed her life’s work to improving access to healthcare in some of the world’s most underserved areas. Under Bush’s leadership, Global Health Corps has won widespread praise for its work, including being named by the Echoing Green Foundation as one of the world’s 14 most innovative social startups.

Before founding Global Health Corps, Bush worked in educational programming at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, where she supported design-thinking programs for high school teachers and students across the United States. She has worked for the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in Capetown, South Africa, and has traveled with the United Nation’s World Food Programme, focusing on the importance of nutrition.

Bush is also a member of UNICEF’s Next Generation Steering Committee and serves on the board of directors of several nonprofits, including Covenant House International, PSI, Friends of the Global Fight for AIDS, TB and Malaria, and the UN’s Social Entrepreneurship Council. Bush, who graduated from Yale University with a degree in the humanities in 2004, was named one of Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year in 2011 and one of Newsweek‘s Women of Impact in 2013.

About the Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program

The Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program, established by the Malott family in memory of Elizabeth Hubert Malott ’53, makes manifest her belief that a range of opinions about the world — especially opinions with which we may not agree, or think we do not agree — leads to a better educational experience. Although the primary audience for this annual program is the Scripps College student body, all members of the Claremont community and the general public are welcome.
