Provided stipends for summer interns. Many students entering their senior year of college lost the opportunity to learn and grow through traditional internships, and many recent graduates are struggling to find any job, let alone jobs in their field of choice. Additionally, there is an opportunity divide for exposure and entry into the finance and investment industry. This program filled a gap in providing students and graduates with critical skill building activities and experience to add to their resumes, and aiding their efforts to obtain employment.
Chicago Women in Philanthropy "Making A Difference" event - Celebration of women who have made a significant impact in the field of philanthropy.
