5 Master of Finance students and 3 MBA students from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business are in Bangladesh April 16-26, 2014 on a one-week mission with the World Bank to explore the possibility of expanding rural electrification through solar energy micro-grids.
"We were all very excited to meet Dr. Yunus. It is a precious experience for us to meet the most celebrated personnel in Bangladesh," said Tao Wang, a 2014 MFin candidate. "With the fame of Nobel Prize and the devotion in helping the rural areas, Dr. Yunus’ insights will be a shining add-on to our project."
