The tool she developed is still being used by the company’s financial leadership team.</p> <p>She was also involved in the company’s MOSAIC program, an employee resource that supports equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives. At 山ǿ, Morton is co-president of the <a href="https://ulife.utoronto.ca/organizations/view/id/127842">Black Students in Business Association</a>.</p> <p>“I strive to build pathways for other students of colour,” says Morton, an international student from Saint Kitts and Nevis.&nbsp;</p> <p>“As a woman and person of colour, I try to be aware that I’m not just representing myself, but other students who may come after me. I always try to remain humble and just put my best foot forward, whether it’s through volunteering or my work terms.”</p> <h3><a href="https://utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/undergraduate-experience/management-students-impact-major-company-lands-her-national-co-op-award"><b><span style="text-underline:none">Read the University of Toronto Scarborough story</span></b></a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTSC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:46:07 +0000 lanthierj 169001 at
