FAMU student selected as a Thurgood Marshall College Fund Leadership Institute scholar

Third-year FAMU criminal justice student Tenesha Washington has been selected to attend the award-winning Thurgood Marshall College Fund Leadership Institute. The national program is designed to develop students’ leadership skills, create a community of scholars, provide companies access to a talented and diverse student population, and help students make connections that lead to careers.

This power-packed four-day conference in October prepares carefully selected students from the 47 publicly-supported historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to compete in today ’s competitive global workforce. The conference culminates with a recruitment fair where Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and graduate program representatives offer jobs, internships and continuing education opportunities.

Washington has an interest in international relations and plans to pursue a career in family law. She is a member of the National Society of Leadership & Success.
