Don’t forget the Block 6 First Mondays speaker, Monday, Feb. 27, at 11:15 a.m. in the Kathryn Mohrman Theatre.
Start Block 6 with the campus community by joining us for a talk by Melanie Auguste ’09, as she shares her unique journey from CC to Nike with “Finding Your ‘Mountain’ and Learning to Climb It: My Journey from CC to Nike and the Lessons I’m Learning.”
Auguste will help students understand the benefits of finding your topic, your dream, and your skill by sharing the importance of goal setting, the unquantifiable value of embracing failure, and how having resilience when encountering adversity will lead you to the right opportunities.
Auguste, who was a four-year starter on the women’s basketball team and received the Josten’s Award for Most Outstanding Player in DIII in her senior year, is now Vice President of Global Brand Narrative, Purpose, and Athlete Marketing for Nike. As such, she is responsible for driving Nike’s brand strategy and advertising with Nike’s most iconic athletes.
