Inspiring the Next Generation of Sustainable Investors

IEN works to ensure higher education institutions develop the next generation of leaders committed to a sustainable economy through:

The SIILK Network

The SIILK Network (Sustainable & Impact Investing Learning & Knowledge) is a peer learning network of students, faculty, and staff that are involved in the management and development of student-managed investment funds, as well as the teaching and development of sustainable investing curriculum. SIILK participants connect to share best practices and resources to advance sustainable investing strategies in student-managed funds and curricula.

The ESG For Impact Conference Scholarship 

IEN and the Crane Institute are pleased to support and help administer The ESG For Impact Conference Scholarship. The scholarship was started and is coordinated by a group of First Affirmative Financial Network alumni and longtime affiliates, with the goal of offering full scholarships to a diverse group of qualified students and young professionals who are interested in a career as a sustainable investment professional.
