Texas State students Johnathan Ashe, Corey Trimble Jr., and Jacob D. Cooper were named Forbes Scholars and invited to attend the Forbes “30 under 30” Summit held in Detroit, Michigan. About 1,000 college students are accepted as Forbes Scholars from across the nation.
The summit included more than 200 speakers, investor speed-pitching, industry-themed field trips, a music festival and a day of community giving. Ashe, a sophomore studying healthcare administration, called his experience at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit “truly amazing.”
“The summit places professional development as its top priority,” said Ashe. “I was able to develop professionally from the various workshops they had (resume workshop for example) and discussion panels held by prominent figures from many industries (healthcare, engineering, business, and law). From exchanging ideas for campus organizations to internships opportunities, the relationships I built during the week were truly life changing.”
