Events in the academic year 2010-2011

Event 3 – Microfinance

A career in the financial sector does not always have to compromise your mission to make positive impact. Microfinance over the last decades has provided credit access to a growing number of the world’s poor, helping to address development issues. Meanwhile the latest crisis in the Indian microfinance sector drives us to question its future. This workshop will draw upon the experience of leading practitioners in the field, explore the debate around microfinance and look into how students with a passion in this area can get involved.

Event 2 – Business and causes

A workshop for 30 people providing an overview of the challenges facing the next generation of business leaders. The workshop will be led by Tom Rippin founder of the OnPurpose Leadership Programme and ex Mckinsey consultant. Light food and drinks will be provided, with attendees welcome to join us for drinks with the guests afterwards. Register early on our website to avoid disappointment.
