Aminah Lagha
Salam everyone, this is Aminah Lagha, the treasurer of the Islamic society. Wait, what.. a girl? Yeah I know, shocking!. You may think I'm doing something like medicine( cuz I look just as bright as your flashlight, haha get the pun) or a course that's more "girly" for example nursing. Most women marry men, but I'm married to my calculator. What I study probably won't matter to you because I'm certain you never heard of if before. Anyways, to keep the long story short, I'm an actuarial and financial studies student. When I walk down the street, I come across as a girl, but deep down I'm a creature. Nah I'm kidding, I'm a very nice person. I'm responsible for all the financial affairs of the society. I may look shy, but as they say never judge a girl by her physical appearance. If you need any help in maths, don't be afraid to ask!!

OUR ALUMNI: Where Are They Now?
The Islamic society was built on the foundation of networking and developing relationships that would last forever between its members, and impact them in their respective careers and involvement in their communities. This is an evidently consistent trait amongst all our alumni. In order to uphold our mission we aim to grow and expand in our outreach, as we are founded and live by three pillars – unity, integrity and diversity.
