ABOUT Since 2000, 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 conference in Washington, DC, 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 companies, government agencies and graduate program representatives offering job, internship and continuing education opportunities. 44% 56% SOPHMORE 7% JUNIOR 26% SENIOR 59% GRAD/LAW STUDENT 8% MAJORS 46% 41% 13% STEM BUSINESS OTHER STUDENT TESTIMONIALS: 2
