Student Spotlights
“I met my future business partner here at Saunders, who was also a Fulbright scholar from Afghanistan. We want to start our own business incubator back home to help and empower other young Afghan entrepreneurs, especially social entrepreneurs, to help with some of the pressing problems we are facing back in Afghanistan.”
