The New School Mindset

Student loan debt is the 1.53 trillion dollar elephant in the room no one’s talking about. And every Fall, a new batch of students are saddled with debt and pushed into the system without any knowhow or education about how to come out on top. No more. Thrivent Student Resources is introducing the country to the New School Mindset, where we educate students about how they can chase their college dreams without paying for them well into their forties.

BRAND BOOK
To be truly healthy, we don't only need to eat well. We need to think well, act well, and be an active member of a vibrant community. With an ethos like that, helping the True Food Kitchen brand grow and flourish across the country was not only enjoyable. It was delicious.
Social. Good.
