Dr. Azy Behnam is a veterinarian who graduated from USask’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) in 2023. In 2020, Behnam was part of a student group that founded WCVM DIVERSE (Diversity and Inclusivity in the Veterinary Environment: Respect, Solidarity and Empowerment), a club that provides a safe space for racialized and 2SLGBTQIA+ students and allies. Since graduating, she has established a veterinary scholarship that pays tribute to her parents’ selflessness in immigrating with their family to Canada. The Giti Golmohammadi Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Award, named after Behnam’s mother, supports a student whose path to veterinary medicine has involved the challenges of immigration.
University of Saskatchewan graduate Marco Donadeo (BComm’18) believes that if it weren’t for his time at USask, he would not be where he is today. He graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2018, with his fondest memories stemming from his time with the Dembrowski Student Fund. In 2017 and 2018, Donadeo was awarded an Investment Excellence Prize during his time with the portfolio. Through the expertise he received at USask and from outside the university, he became a general partner of Weave Ventures, where he invests in Western Canadian start-ups. He also serves as a member of USask’s Alumni Advisory Board.
