Malpass’ first campus engagement ‘an incredible experience’

The State and Grant Street Gateway at Purdue University.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —

In his first working visit to Purdue University since joining the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business, David Malpass, Distinguished Fellow of International Finance, met with faculty, students, university leadership, and members of the community and media for wide-ranging discussions on the developing world, currencies, the debt crisis and more. 

Malpass is also the Inaugural Fellow of Global Business and Infrastructure at Purdue@DC. He brings to both roles his experiences as president of the World Bank Group from April 2019 to June 2023; his public service, ranging from deputy assistant secretary of the treasury and deputy assistant secretary of state to undersecretary of the treasury for international affairs; and his years as a leading economist on Wall Street.

At Purdue in mid-January, Malpass gave a public talk on debt and development as part of the Purdue University Research Center in Economics’ monthly economic policy luncheon series; served as the school’s Executive Forum speaker; met with Larsen Leaders Academy students and the Purdue Investment Banking Academy; and moderated an ECON 370 class discussion on U.S. trade deficits.
