New engineering institute to modify, develop technology for the global poor
Date:12/10/2009

rofessor in Leadership and Global Entrepreneurship.

With three billion people in the world living on $2 a day or less, institute donors Hunter and Stephanie Hunt believe global poverty is one of the most pressing problems of our time. "There has been a great deal of financial and commercial innovation in helping the impoverished, but there has been little technical and engineering innovation; we hope to fill that void," Stephanie Hunt said. "This new institute will take a creative but pragmatic approach to an immense challenge," Hunter Hunt added.
