BOSTON, Massachusetts, September 23, 2010 - Hult International Business School announced today at the Clinton Global
Initiative's (CGI) Annual Meeting in New York that it will donate US$1
million
to the CGI to implement the best ideas generated by students in the
2011 Hult Global Case Challenge.

The 2011 Hult Global Case Challenge will take place simultaneously across
all of the School's five campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai and
Shanghai. More than 100 teams from business schools all over the world will
compete to develop the most innovative solution to a real problem faced by a
Clinton Global Initiative member in implementing their solution to a pressing
global issue. The winning team will then see their solution being put into
action with the support of the US$1 million prize.

"Many non-profit organizations struggle to make a difference even though
they have a powerful solution to a problem. Not because they lack commitment
or funding, but because they face execution hurdles that are hard to
overcome. This event is designed to harness the creativity of a diverse array
of students to help find ways to get over these hurdles," stated Hult
President Dr. Stephen Hodges.

Marilia Bezerra, CGI's Director of Commitments commented, "The Hult
Global Case Challenge helps teach business school students that the skills
they learn in class can be applied for-good as well as for-profit. This is an
ideal opportunity for them to make a real difference in the world."

The 2010 Hult Global Case Challenge saw teams from business schools all
over the world including Harvard, INSEAD, Cambridge, Oxford, Columbia, MIT,
Wharton, LBS and Carnegie Mellon compete to solve a problem faced by One
Laptop Per Child. The inaugural winner was a team from Carnegie Mellon
University
.
