Lamya Islam moved from Bangladesh to Canada with her husband this past fall to pursue her master's degree in economics at UVic. She is now the first recipient of the Women in
Economics Graduate Scholarship at the university.
Students are getting real-life experience investing $500,000 on UVic's behalf while learning how to make investment decisions that incorporate environmental, social and governance
factors. In a new fourth-year course, students manage the funds in close coordination with academic and industry support to learn about investing responsibly as well as fiduciary
duty.
