The Summer Series is a virtual hub of professional development, networking and storytelling.
This 2-month Summer Series (June 1 – August 1) will support the learning and development of the entire THF talent pool through panels, workshops, speakers and cases studies. Participants will benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of relevant industry topics, diversity and inclusion, self-care, personal finance, and more!
The series also gives THF partners and supporters direct access to students and post-grad professionals.
