Three FAMU MBA students ---Jonas Laboo, Brianna Collins and Jonathan Jones (L to R)--- have been selected into the inaugural cohort of ten Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) Hennessy Fellows. Laboo and Jones each received $10,000 fellowships, while Collins received $8,000.
The Hennessy Fellows program will help to prepare the next generation of African-American leaders through financial assistance, access to training and professional development opportunities and real-world application.
“This impressive group of future C-Suite executives from Florida A&M University will have the opportunity to learn and be mentored by some of the best in the business in Corporate America,” said Harry L. Williams, president & CEO, TMCF. “Our partnership with Hennessy is singularly devoted to our graduate HBCU students making our Hennessy Fellows the new symbol of success.”
Hennessy Fellows are made possible by a $10-million-dollar commitment from Hennessy to TMCF over 10 years.
