Headbands of Hope at Bradley

As featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Vanity Fair, Forbes and more, join Bradley Greek Life and the Lewis J. Burger Center for Student Leadership & Public Service in welcoming Jess Ekstrom to Bradley's campus on Wednesday, October 18 at 6 p.m. or 8 p.m. in the Michel Student Center Ballroom.

Ekstrom started her organization, Headbands of Hope, when she was only a junior in college after doing an internship at a wish granting foundation. Headbands of Hope is set up so that when a headband is purchased, a headband is given to a child with cancer.

In addition to sharing her journey of creating the company, she will speak about not waiting until after college to act on your ideas and how college students can build companies, affect change and solve problems before graduation. She'll also touch on the importance of turning issues into action and using experiences to take risks and launch ideas without fearing failure.

All Bradley students as well as faculty/staff are welcome to attend.
