CEM was launched with seed money from the Liberty Mutual Foundation, followed by a grant from the US Department of Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since our founding in 2007, we have been honored to receive generous gifts from several dedicated board members, alumni, and corporate partners to develop and strengthen our student programs, event series, and research initiatives. Gifts from David R. Nardone<\/a>, Vivek & Vandana Sharma<\/a>, Venkat & Pratima Srinivasan<\/a>, Ed and Colleen DiSanto<\/a>, and the Revvity Foundation<\/a> have transformed CEM's ability to support faculty and student research, facilitate global learning experiences, and engage the academic and business community in Boston and beyond with emerging markets topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nardone Family Seminar Series brings scholars and practitioners to Northeastern to share research and firsthand experience on emerging markets with the CEM and Boston community. David Nardone (DMSB'79\/MBA'82) first funded the series in 2015 with a five-year commitment. In January 2021, he endowed it permanently, ensuring it continues indefinitely.<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
