Princeton Microfinance Organization Presents:
Microfinance, Economic
Development,
and Global Health Colloquium
May 1, 2009
Princeton University
The Princeton Microfinance Organization (PMO) cordially invites you to attend their inaugural spring colloquium. This year’s day-long event will consist of both individual and panel presentations by leaders of the various facets of the budding field of microfinance and global health to address innovative approaches in microfinance and economic development, with special emphasis on their effects on worldwide health.
Sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, this event promises to be an excellent opportunity for microfinance leaders to present the work that is being undertaken in this still relatively unknown field to the upcoming generation of interested students. Open to the Princeton community at large as well as students from neighboring universities, the event hopes to: (1) encourage the dissemination of valuable information related to microfinance and global health, and (2) provide a networking/recruiting opportunity for both students and leaders in the various aspects of microfinance.
At our website, you will find a comprehensive list of our participating speakers along with accompanying profiles. The event is scheduled for May 1st, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. There will be a morning session, two afternoon sessions, and an intervening complimentary lunch and networking period.
