They bring the skills and knowledge they gained at UW-Milwaukee to their jobs, along with their ambitions and fresh perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article series, we highlight some of the recent Letters &amp; Science alumni who have found fulfilling roles in their chosen fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Name: <\/strong>Fatima Badwan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Graduation Year: <\/strong>2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Major: <\/strong>Economics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Job: <\/strong>Farm manager and educator at Masjid Al Qur\u2019an Mosque<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alquranmke.org\/\">Masjid Al-Qur\u2019an Mosque<\/a> in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, you might hear the call to prayer, the gentle murmur of voices reading the Quran, and the insistent bleating of a herd of goats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, goats \u2013 and sheep, ducks, and chickens besides. The animals are part of the mosque\u2019s community garden and farm managed by UWM economics graduate Fatima Badwan. Not only does she care for the animals, but she and her husband, Ali Shana, also run a shepherd school and 4H classes for the children of the mosque. Classes cover animal husbandry, biology, and the economics of running a farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s how much we spend on seed, how we schedule feeding, how we manage grazing,\u201d Badwan said. \u201cThere\u2019s economics in that. It plays out every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all her agricultural acumen, Badwan doesn\u2019t have a farming background. Instead, she grew up in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and attended UWM because she wanted to remain close to her family. She began college as an actuarial science major, but found that wasn\u2019t the track for her. The economics major offered more flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was especially intrigued by one of UWM\u2019s environmental economic courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt talked about externalities when the community pays the cost of others doing business. I never wanted my work to cause harm,\u201d Badwan said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to contribute to pollution just to make an agricultural product. I don\u2019t want to deplete the land just to save some money. I don\u2019t want animals in tight, confined space just to increase my yield. That class was just an eye-opener to the kind of middle ground that\u2019s Earth-friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, Badwan began looking for places to apply those principles. She began volunteering at a farming co-op when she was in school and then worked at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blakesvilledairyfarm.com\/\">Blakesville Dairy Farm<\/a> after graduation. Blakesville is a goat farm that makes its own cheese and other dairy products in-house (\u201cThat\u2019s when I actually started to see more of my economics courses play out. It was a commercial operation, making specialty cheese at scale, and other dairy products too\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a friend and mentor introduced Badwan to the farm at the Masjid Al-Qu\u2019ran Mosque, becoming the farm manager was a natural fit. She had found a religious community and a farming community in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Badwan oversees the farm\u2019s livestock as well as its community garden. She and her husband, whom she met at UWM, work closely with the mosque\u2019s youth in their shepherd school and 4-H classes. Classes cover topics like hydroponics, electricity, the development of chicken eggs, and even archery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we can get kids involved less on their screens and more into nature, that would be most ideal,\u201d Badwan said. \u201cIt\u2019s not every day where we have farm animals or any animals in the city, and when you\u2019re there, it feels like you\u2019re in the country almost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignleft uwm-c-img--left uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/09\/Badwan-goats-3-300x200.webp\" alt=\"A young woman in a pink hijab and a green long-sleeve t-shirt watches three  children feeding two goats behind a wire fence.\" class=\"wp-image-32115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/09\/Badwan-goats-3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2026\/09\/Badwan-goats-3.webp 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Fatima Badwan (in front with the green shirt) keeps a careful eye on children feeding the goats at the Masjid Al Qu&#8217;ran Mosque&#8217;s farm. Photo courtesy of Fatima Badwan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most importantly, she wants the children \u2013 and everyone \u2013 to understand the importance of agriculture and community. Members of the mosque harvest the food they work in their portions of the community garden, but they also donate some of their harvest or serve it to guests of the mosque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m so into the food. It\u2019s a very important thing to me,\u201d Badwan said. \u201cI think that\u2019s it\u2019s not fair that we have such an abundance of food that\u2019s not shared and passed around. I think it\u2019s a human right for everyone to have access to food, and I think it\u2019s very important for people to know where their food comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a large part of economics, she added. Many people tend to think of economics in terms of finances, the stock market, GDP, inflation, and so on, but at its core, economics is the study of how humans make decisions under scarcity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat shows up anywhere resources are limited, including on a farm,\u201d Badwan said. She must think about how to feed the livestock \u2013 letting the animals graze costs less than paying for feed, but requires labor costs for a shepherd to watch over the herd. She must think about selling the animals \u2013 is there a religious holiday where halal meats will be in demand? After selling animals, will she have enough left for breeding, grazing, and the school programs? She must think about breeding \u2013 the farm has to be sustainable, but each new animal consumes more resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She loves that she gets to use her economics education to provide food resources for her community. She hopes that other graduates will find creative uses for their degrees, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t assume your degree only applies to one type of career,\u201d she advised. No matter your major, you can find a way to serve your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, Badwan added, \u201cI\u2019m so happy that I graduated in economics. It really did wonders for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>By Sarah Vickery, College of Letters &amp; Science<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, graduates from the College of Letters &amp; Science enter the workforce and begin to contribute thousands of dollars to their local, state, and national economies.
