Microfinance, Economic Development, and Global Health Colloquium at Princeton University

The Princeton Microfinance Organization (PMO) cordially invites you to attend its 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, such as Sam Daley-Harris, Director of the Microcredit Summit Campaign, and Susan Davis, President and CEO of BRAC USA. Our speakers will be addressing innovative approaches in microfinance and economic development, with special emphasis on their effects on worldwide health.

This colloquium promises to be an excellent opportunity for microfinance leaders to present the work that is being undertaken in this 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.

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.
