Founded in 2010, EMI has published 8 Emerging Market Multinational Reports, organized 13 Annual Conferences, launched the Cornell EMI Mark Mobius pitch competition and the Cornell EMI Corning case competition. About 70 MBAs graduate every year as EMI Fellows. None of this would be possible without a great EMI team, the generous support of alumni, faculty, and Johnson community at large. I feel grateful and privileged to be part of the EMI community, and I am confident that EMI is just beginning its second decade of excellence.” Lourdes Casanova, Gail and Rob Cañizares Director, EMI
