SJA Alumnus at Ivey UWO – Celebrating our Alumni
“Growing up in a small rural community in western Jamaica motivated Orlando Scarlett, HBA/Economics ’23, to question from a young age why poverty exists and to consider how stronger social foundations might help.
“From as early as high school, I became very interested in the intersection of the public and private sectors – how the government, businesses, and citizens can collaborate to solve the world’s most important problems,” he said.
