Susan E. Walton on CERGE-EI:

“CERGE-EI's timely mission to educate in higher economics the promising students from the developing world has had a remarkable extra benefit of encouraging the young women from the region who have been doubly neglected in this field in the past. I have been particularly impressed by the impact of this innovative program on the lives of these remarkable women and gratified by the impact they, in turn, are making on the future of their countries and the world.”
