Share
Marshall University’s Collective 37 will host a free networking event sponsored by Jurna on Thursday, April 2, from 6 – 8 p.m. in the Encova Auditorium at the Brad D. Smith Center for Business and Innovation.

Collective 37 is a student-run, student-developed communications agency, working alongside Jurna, an innovative income-based education funding start-up launching at Marshall.

George Sauter, CEO of Jurna and former global chief investment officer at Vanguard, will deliver the keynote address, followed by a panel discussion featuring Marshall graduates Darrin Bird, Kathy Cosco, and Sean Hornbuckle.

Bird is plant director at HBE for Special Metals, bringing expertise in engineering and manufacturing. Cosco serves as vice president of government and external affairs for Marshall Health Network, with a background in healthcare and public affairs. Hornbuckle is a financial advisor with Edward Jones and a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, offering perspective on finance and public service.

Titled “Beyond the Degree: Making the Most of Your Future,” the event offers students and community members insights on building a meaningful and impactful career.

“For students, their education is a great foundation for the rest of their lives, but two people with the same education have different life experiences,” Sauter said. “I’m excited to help students understand the differentiating factors–to think like an investor in their future. Emphasizing skills like saving consistently, building real relationships, and making intentional career choices can set them up for success.”

The panel will be moderated by Marshall Student Body President Connor Waller and Mackenzie Morley, founding partner of Sunday and Company. For more information and to claim a free ticket, click here.
