Abdelrahman Elbrolosy: International student leader

Abdelrahman Elbrolosy, a native of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is a double major in finance and management at the University of Maine, and president of the International Student Association.

Abdelrahman came to the Maine Business School because he wanted to study business at a strong program in the Northeast. While he lived in the U.S. from 2004–09, he’d never been to Maine. He decided to check it out.

“Through my research I heard about the Bloomberg Lab and was interested in using it,” he says. “I also learned about Dr. Pankaj Agrrawal and his remarkable skills as an ETF trader through an article on Yahoo. It was about top ETF friendly professors and most of them were at Ivy League schools, but Dr. Agrrawal was at UMaine.”
