HSF

Last week, HSF was proud to sponsor 32 HSF Aspen Ideas Festival Fellows at the Aspen Ideas Festival – one of the world's premier gatherings of leaders, innovators, and changemakers addressing today's most pressing issues. Throughout the week, HSF Fellows participated in thought-provoking discussions with global leaders, explored ideas shaping the future, and built meaningful connections with one another and with fellow attendees committed to driving positive change.

Investing in HSF Alumni means creating opportunities that broaden perspectives, strengthen leadership, and foster lifelong networks that amplify impact. We are proud to support these exceptional leaders as they continue making a difference in their communities and beyond.

Patricia Lucero, Senior Vice President, Career Services at HSF, brings a dynamic professional background spanning recruitment, legal services, and insurance. She is dedicated to empowering HSF Scholars as they navigate their career journeys and pursue their goals with confidence.

Her work reflects a deep commitment to mentorship, access, and meaningful impact.

This year, the University of Chicago partnered with HSF to help families take the next step toward higher education through the College 101 program. This free program for students in grades 6–12 and their parents helps equip communities with the tools to prepare, plan, and pay for college. Together, we’re expanding access and turning possibilities into real pathways.
