China’s Ningxia TV Interviews IvyMax P2P Microfinance GPL Summer Program Interns
On August 4, 2011, Ningxia TV in China broadcast a story featuring IvyMax students working with farmers in the impoverished Yanchi County in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The students helped fight for rural poverty alleviation by means of P2P microfinance, working with CreditEase, and will continue to contribute in meaningful ways after the trip. This story also included a bit of our work at the Guantan Village School in Yanchi. Our students look marvelous on TV!

Congratulations to the twenty-six (26) IvyMax-prepped students who qualified for the coveted 2011 American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) by scoring in the top 5% of the 2011 AMC 12 or by scoring in the top 2.5% of the 2011 AMC 10 in February this year.
