Your connection to JFEW extends beyond your years in school, as every JFEW recipient is also an alumna of the Foundation. Your stories are our story, your success is our success, and your future can help to chart our own.

Our alumnae community offers you numerous opportunities for networking and professional development throughout the course of your career. To take full advantage of our community, please create a profile on JFEWConnect, a closed social network linking over four generations of professional women who have received JFEW funding.

The goal of our social network is to develop a community of students, career women and retired professionals who give back to JFEW by offering opportunities, connections and advice to others who have received JFEW funding. We also encourage you to give back financially by donating to JFEW.

To learn more about the individual stories of women who inspire us to reach our highest potential, please browse our past Newsletters and Testimonials.
