We are pleased to present our virtual 20th Annual Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) Leadership Institute! Although we are all experiencing a new normal, TMCF’s commitment to “Changing the World One Leader at a Time” still stands and is even more critical given the challenges our students will face in this new day and age. As we celebrate our 20th Leadership Institute, our focus is to ensure that students “log-off” with sound professional development and soft skills, ready to tackle the world’s most complex problems with concrete solutions. This virtual event, which will take place from October 13-17, 2020, provides unique opportunities for our partners to interact with a hand- selected group of diverse student talent from across the country. As the centerpiece of TMCF’s leadership development activities, TMCF’s Leadership Institute provides top-tier students from America’s publicly-supported Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominately Black Institutions (PBIs) with a four-day, intensive professional and leadership development experience. These scholars will experience networking opportunities and the chance to interview with recruiters and executives from leading corporations and government agencies.

As a Leadership Institute Partner, you will meet some of the best and brightest college students, who will be a crucial part of America’s future workforce. Participating students gain critical secrets of success from you and other professionals, including personal branding, financial development, career-building skills, developing leadership qualities, and a more profound knowledge of domestic and international career opportunities. Ultimately, the information the students glean during this conference will help them become better interns and employees for your company and others.

This guide provides information about the various partnership levels and related benefits. Our partner opportunities are limited, so please commit to a level early. Additionally, the TMCF Team is here to work with you to maximize your return on investment and ensure that your partnership is a successful one. We greatly appreciate your partnership with TMCF; together, we can re-envision the future and prepare tomorrow’s leaders today.

We are excited to [virtually] introduce you to some of the best and brightest talent in the country!

Sincerely,

Harry L. Williams President & CEO

Greetings, Partner!


I appreciated the effort put in for the law student immersion program. It renewed my gut feeling for the kind of law I am interested in and how to go about achieving that goal. I would hope that the law student program will continue to grow in the future, since there are so few black lawyers and the opportunities for black attorneys are few and far between. I especially appreciated meeting Mr. Burns and his willingness to share his experiences with Chairman Elijah Cummings with us. I enjoyed the tour of the capital with an emphasis on the life of Thurgood Marshall. I also appreciated the connections with attorneys who have diverse backgrounds like Ms. Angela Scott from the Department of Health and Hospitals. I would love to come back and share my experiences as the program progresses into something that has a more significant impact on the opportunities of black law students in finding internships and job opportunities.

S“For the past 20 years, this national program has created a community of scholars,

provided companies access to talented and diverse students, and helped

students make connections that lead to internships and good jobs. Each year,

the conference gives students attending TMCF member-schools a first-hand

professional development experience. Students are interviewed during the spring

and fall semesters, and those selected as “TMCF Scholars” will attend a four-day

virtual conference where the secrets to developing professional skills and leadership

are unearthed.

During the conference, TMCF Scholars will have the opportunity to learn from and

exchange ideas with some of the world’s top leaders of business and government,

further enhancing their talents and leadership abilities. The conference culminates

with the students participating in a recruitment fair where they meet with companies,

government agencies, and graduate program representatives offering jobs,

internships, and continuing education opportunities.”
