For the past three years, Acadian has been a proud partner to the UNCF Lighted Pathways program. Lighted Pathways aims to increase the number of underrepresented students who enter and thrive in the asset management industry through valuable internships with host companies in Boston. This new video from UNCF spotlights program alumni who have gone on to full-time employment in the industry using the skills and networks they built through their Lighted Pathways internships, including Acadian’s very own Olivia Broussard. We look forward to continuing to support this vital mission as we start to prepare for the Summer 2025 cohort. https://lnkd.in/e3b2ZEBh
