Professor Yunus

  • Location: Deeprose Lecture Theatre, Glasgow Caledonian University

I am delighted to invite you to join us for a remarkable event, hosted by Glasgow Caledonian University's Institute for Applied Health Research and Institute for Society & Social Justice Research - the launch of both the unique Yunus Centre, and Yunus Chair in Social Business and Health at GCU.

We are pleased to welcome Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Professor Yunus back for this special "double first" launch, his first visit since giving the inaugural Magnusson Fellowship Lecture at the university in December 2008.
 
As Professor Yunus states in his recently published book Building Social Business, his partnership with GCU shows "how a university can help spread and develop a new approach to society's ills." There will also be a book signing by Professor Yunus from 4.30-5.00 p.m. at the Deeprose Lecture Theatre.
 
Please join us to welcome Professor Yunus back to Scotland and to meet Professor Cam Donaldson founding Yunus Professor of Social Business and Health at GCU.
