| World Bank Asks South Asian Leaders To Adopt Bold Reforms
“The World Bank on Tuesday asked South Asian leaders to adopt bold reforms in a bid to increase trade and investment, relieve energy shortages and foster peace in the largely poverty-stricken subcontinent. The Bank said India should set the pace for regional integration by pushing for a dialogue mechanism to resolve political disputes and launching programs to remove infrastructure bottlenecks and trade barriers. India is the chair of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in New Delhi, which was attended by leaders from across the region. ‘This meeting taking place in New Delhi is quite unique and in many ways presents opportunities that previous summits have not - one is the fact that India is chairing,' said Praful Patel, the Washington-based World Bank Vice President for the South Asia region.

Stout Risius Ross gives BBAs a taste of "A Day in the Life"
The Stout Risius Ross "Day in the Life" program afforded us a great opportunity to gain hands on experience at one of the many companies recruiting at the Ross School of Business. Stout Risius Ross (SRR) is a firm that offers a variety of services such as investment banking, performance improvement, business valuation, dispute advisory, real estate appraisal, and machinery and equipment valuation.
We began the day by meeting a senior analyst in the Dispute Advisory and Forensic Services (DAFS) group, who gave us an introduction to SRR's background and the various services it provides. We were then able to meet with Jeff Risius, Managing Director and head of the Detroit office, for a formal company presentation. From here, we were introduced to professionals in the Valuation & Financial Opinions (VFO) group.
