Convocation members get inspiration from Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus (11 Aug)
11 August 2012

Standing Committee members of the Convocation would like to express our thanks to alumni who signed up for the NU SKIN Master Forum held on 11 August. The event featured keynote speaker Professor Muhammad Yunus. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate is a Bangladeshi economist and founder of the Grameen Bank, an institution that provides microcredit (small loans to poor people possessing no collateral) to help the underprivileged to establish creditworthiness and financial self-sufficiency. We hope alumni would get inspiration from his passion and contribution to alleviate the world’s poverty.
