About SIILK
SIILK has three main goals:
- Scale the uptake of sustainable investing education, including courses and experiential education opportunities like Student-Managed Investment Funds (SMIFs),
- Support SMIFs as they work to build stronger bridges between their SMIF and their institution’s broader endowment, and
- Increase the diversity and number of students that enter the sustainable investing field.
Through SIILK, IEN is working to ensure higher education institutions develop the next generation of investment and finance leaders committed to an equitable, low carbon, and regenerative economy.
