Emerging Markets Institute Club (EMIC)

EMIC’s goal is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to conduct individualized research within Emerging Markets. Our deep connection to the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management’s Emerging Markets Institute provides us access to Cornell’s resources, including faculty expertise and EMI Fellows, we facilitate discussions, mentorship, and collaborative research. Join us to deepen your understanding of emerging markets and make a positive impact.

We’re excited to announce our New Members for Fall 2025. Stay tuned to read their research reports and investment pitches!
