Capital Markets Program Fellows Enjoy GWSB Holiday Reception Capital Markets Program fellows from more than a dozen nations — as well as ambassadors and embassy personnel from their home countries — gathered on the 6th floor of Duquès Hall for a holiday reception at the end of the fall 2019 semester. The program brings financial professionals from banks, as well as capital markets and governments in developing
and emerging economies, around the world to study at GWSB. A unique three-way partnership among GWSB, the International Finance Corporation and the Milken Institute, the program has drawn students from 40 different countries, including the 23 fellows in the current cohort. “I am very pleased to report that in light
of the program’s success, we have added a second cohort, which began in spring 2020, and welcomed program fellows from Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Zambia,” Dean Anuj Mehrotra said.

Professor Wins UN Authorization for ‘International MSME Day’

4 | GWSB Spring 2020
The United Nations designated June 27, 2019, as “Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Day” as a result of a successful lobbying effort by GWSB’s Ayman El Tarabishy, professor of management and executive director of the International Center for Small Business (ICSB). The UN proclaims International Days to educate the general public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate
and reinforce the achievements of humanity. Member states can formally propose International Days, subject to the approval of the UN General Assembly. Dr. El Tarabishy worked with Argentina’s permanent mission to the UN to draft and introduce the resolution proposing MSME Day. Dr. El Tarabishy is the first college professor credited with creating a UN International Day.
