GPI Talks

GPI Talks are short TED-talk style speeches by diverse MIT students about their international development initiatives in countries ranging from Uganda to Bolivia to Togo. Please contact us ([email protected]) if you are interested in sharing your project for either the fall or spring GPI Talks. See videos of our speakers below!

He aspires to pursue an advanced degree in economics and focus on uncovering policies that mitigate the pernicious effects of poverty through rigorous research.
