It will be named the Scotiabank Lassonde Financial Crimes Research Initiative.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when financial markets, technologies and products have become more complex and financial crimes are increasing, Canadian universities can play a critical role in addressing the global shortage of trained experts equipped to tackle these crimes \u2013 many of which can impact the most vulnerable such as children, newcomers and elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sept. 13, York University announced a contribution from Scotiabank that will provide $980,000 to support a variety of initiatives at the Lassonde School of Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding will support research into global financial crimes and computer security, while also providing support for programs that advance equity, diversity and inclusion in&nbsp;science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYork University is profoundly grateful to Scotiabank for their generous investment of $980,000 in support of the Lassonde School of Engineering. This contribution reflects the shared commitment of York and Scotiabank to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in science, technology, engineering and math fields and to advancing the groundbreaking work of our researchers in the field of financial crime prevention,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Rhonda L. Lenton<\/strong>, president and vice-chancellor of York University. \u201cIn recognition of this substantial investment, the fund that supports critical research in global financial crimes will be named the Scotiabank Lassonde Financial Crimes Research Initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Virtual-image-for-the-Scotiabank-Lassonde-Financial-Crimes-Research-Initiative-launch-event-held-over-Zoom.jpg\" alt=\"Top row: From left, Lisa Cole, director of programming K21 Academy; Lassonde School of Engineering Dean Jane Goodyer; and Stuart Davis, executive vice president, Financial Crimes Risk Management, Scotiabank.

Nguyen<\/a><\/strong>, associate professor at the Lassonde School of Engineering. \u201cThis research program will also prepare students and emerging scholars for jobs. We are also helping to further promote Toronto as a global financial hub, and providing professionals and expert specialists to the industry locally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This work has already shown promise in the real world, says Nguyen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis initiative with the Lassonde School of Engineering builds on a long history of collaboration between Scotiabank and York University, spanning five decades,\u201d says&nbsp;<strong>Stuart Davis<\/strong>, executive vice-president of financial crimes risk management at Scotiabank.&nbsp;\u201cWe are thrilled to be working with Lassonde\u2019s students and faculty on leading-edge research to inform techniques used to combat financial crimes risk, while promoting a shared purpose to advance social sustainability goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of Scotiabank\u2019s generous investment in activities that advance equity, diversity and inclusion, the Lassonde School of Engineering\u2019s Helen Carswell STEAM Program for Women will also receive support to encourage participation from Grade 10 and 11 students from marginalized neighbourhoods in a unique eight-week program of paid research in the school\u2019s lab, which conducts work related to the United Nations Sustainabile Development Goals. High-school students in the program will work on research projects related to engineering and science under the guidance of undergraduate research assistant mentors, high-school teachers and Lassonde faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well, Scotiabank will support Lassonde\u2019s Kindergarten to Industry Academy \u2013 expanding the K2I Academy to three Greater Toronto Area school boards to further enhance Grade 9 to 12 science and mathematics programs. Lassonde\u2019s K2I Academy is an innovative ecosystem of STEM educators, thought leaders and partners focused on bringing STEM experiences to youth, educators and communities. K2I Academy is working with partners from Kindergarten to industry to dismantle systemic barriers and build sustainable programs that diversify representation in STEM professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese programs are not just about STEM education. It\u2019s social justice work,\u201d says&nbsp;<strong>Lisa Cole<\/strong>, director of programming at K2I Academy. \u201cWe want to make sure that every student has a chance to explore the subjects before they make a decision about their path of studies. We want them to see the possibilities for their futures and the social impact they can make.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deinabo Richard-Koko<\/strong>, a third-year Lassonde student and mentor with the K2I Academy, says the program is unique in that it shows students how to apply their learnings in real time. \u201cMost people say: \u2018What does this add to my life? I\u2019m never going to use this again outside the classroom,\u2019 \u201d says&nbsp;Richard-Koko. \u201cBut with the K2I Academy, students can see the real-time application of what they learned. They can actually use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The support from Scotiabank is already having a huge impact on Lassonde\u2019s programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis funding allowed us to make critical enhancements. We were able to purchase materials and resources, like small electronic devices for engineering learning, to help engage students in hands-on learning,\u201d says Cole. \u201cWithout this gift, we wouldn\u2019t have the creative space that we need to innovate and develop outreach materials for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of these initiatives is to remove systemic barriers to access for underrepresented students in STEM and increase student achievement and enrolment in the prerequisite courses needed to enter post-secondary studies in engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Lassonde, we know how important it is to support students of all backgrounds,\u201d says\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lassonde.yorku.ca\/about\/our-people\/leadership\">Jane Goodyer<\/a><\/strong>, dean of the Lassonde School of Engineering. \u201cThat\u2019s why I am pleased we are collaborating with Scotiabank through a shared sense of purpose, determined to equip every student with the skills and values needed to succeed in STEM fields as they work toward a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The funding from Scotiabank provides $980,000 to support critical research into global financial crimes and security.
