Congratulations to Ying Zhang, assistant professor of finance at the University of Manitoba’s Asper School of Business, for achieving charterholder status from the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Institute.

The CFA program is one of the most prestigious programs in finance. CFA charterholders are a community of investment professionals dedicated to shaping and upholding the highest educational and ethical standards, cultivating fair and equitable markets, and serving investors and the wider public. To become a charterholder, Zhang had to pass the CFA program exams for three levels and have four years of qualified work experience.

BComm Spotlight

Asper BComm student Gilbert Eretchabor is currently working hard to revitalize the University of Manitoba Supply Chain Organization (UMSCO) as president and is a passionate advocate for the field. Supply chain isn’t something that Eretchabor pursued from the start of his degree, but some cogent advice from the Dean helped him see his future (and his past) in supply chain.
