Student opportunities

“The Emerging Market Institute Annual Conference has been one of the highlights of my two years at Johnson. It helped me connect with industry leaders and well known academics. Listening to their insightful discussion at the conference helped me understand and gave me a better outlook of the emerging markets. Kudos to Cornell EMI for empowering me with knowledge, network, and opportunities!”
