I am very appreciative of . . . this university, which prepared me for forty-four years that have gone so well,” says Wendy Clark of her amazing career in marketing.Clark was named the new president and CEO of DDB North America, one of the world’s largest advertising agencies. In her previous position as a top marketing executive for Coca-Cola, Clark led groundbreaking campaigns in both national and international markets. She also served as senior vice president of advertising for AT&T, where she directed the most ambitious rebranding and advertising campaign in the company’s history. In 2007, she was inducted into the American Advertising Federation’s Advertising Hall of Achievement and was cited in AdAge magazine as “one of the most important women in marketing.”“I like talking about my first job after college because it’s advice I offer to today’s grads. My first job was as a receptionist in an ad agency . . . I knew if I could just get in there I could prove myself, and within six months that’s what happened as I moved into the account team. The point is, never be above doing anything.”Wendy Clark, B.A. ‘91Myron Rolle, B.S. ‘08/ M.D. ‘17Raoul Cantero, B.A. ‘82Tracy Wright, B.S. ‘93Myron Rolle was an All-American and the BET Male College Athlete of the Year in 2008. Rather than entering the NFL draft, however, he became a Rhodes Scholar and spent the next year earning his MSc in medical anthropology from Oxford University. In 2010, he was drafted by the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, and his career in pro football lasted until 2013—when he entered medical school. Now Rolle is at Harvard pursuing a career in neurosurgery.Rick Maese of the Washington Post noted, “While he understood the brain more than his teammates, nothing scared him away from the sport. He competed with extra padding in his helmet and tried to focus on tackling fundamentals as much as possible, but he said he couldn’t afford to play with any fear.” Rolle told Maese, “I don’t think I fully [grasped] the potential dangers of. . . traumatic brain injuries until toward the end of my career . . . I’m always thinking, how can I influence other players to have that light turn on sooner? With neurosurgery, every day feels like a football game . . . [all brains are] different, and there’s so much . . . we don’t know. [Each] day . . . you have to perform. And I like performing.”For the past 11 years, Tracy Wright has ensured Netflix content is successfully delivered to its more than 100 million customers around the globe. Now, the $12 billion company has recognized Wright’s ability to develop talent—elevating her to the newly created director’s role of human resources business partner. “The team I support is a global team.” The job is part coach and part mentor[where she focuses on] ten core values. “The one that jumped out to me . . . was integrity . . . You speak your mind . . . even though it may be controversial.”The Jacksonville native credits an FSU summer school class in political science, marveling “that I could form my own thoughts and opinions about what’s happening in the world and not just follow in my family’s footsteps.” Wright also landed a part-time job in a Tallahassee music store that launched her career as a leader, and today she’s considered an integral part of Netflix’s success in helping women thrive in tech. Above all, she leads women to channel their passion—what she calls the secret sauce of success. “If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.”“[T]he two most important skills of an appellate lawyer or judge—writing clearly and thinking critically—were things I first learned at [FSU]. FSU . . . gave me that gift by accepting me, nurturing me, urging me to grow, to learn, to teach myself.”Appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in 2002 by then-Governor Jeb Bush, Raoul Cantero was the first justice of Hispanic descent and one of the youngest ever to sit on the Court. In his six years as a justice, he heard hundreds of appeals and authored well over 100 opinions.Now, former Justice Cantero leads White & Case’s Miami Disputes Practice. He also focuses on cross-border disputes relating to Latin America. Cantero has represented many global clients at the trial and appellate levels, specializing in complex, class-action, and high-profile litigation. Justice Cantero is also the firm’s Global Executive Partner for Diversity, in which position he oversees the firm’s recruitment, retention, and promotion of minority lawyers. In 2016, Law360 found that White & Case was the most diverse law firm in the U.S. In addition, AmLaw has ranked White & Case #1 in the diversity of attorneys for four consecutive years.Successful Graduates18 | A PREEMINENT FLORIDA UNIVERSITYOverviewThe Center for Leadership & Social Change (CLSC) transforms lives through identity development, leadership education, and community engagement. We encourage students to learn, serve, and transform through programming that encompasses leadership, diversity, and service.We offer more than thirty programs for students, faculty, and staff intended to foster opportunities and vision for creating positive, sustainable change in their communities and the broader world.Leadership DevelopmentThe CLSC believes that leadership is a process forged by our identities, values, and experiences. We believe everyone has leadership potential, and our programs support students in their leadership journey. To this end, the center offers abundant opportunities to enhance leadership capacity—from one-time introductory trainings to multi-year commitment-to-leadership learning.First-year students can apply to the Service Leadership Seminar, where they can arrive in August before classes begin to meet new students and staff members and learn to create positive, sustainable change in their communities. Students who participate in Leadership Learning in the Outdoors for Group and Individual Change (LOGIC) stay overnight in cabins at FSU’s Reservation on Lake Bradford. There they can take advantage of the challenge course and other facilities for team-building and leadership development activities. Additionally, the CLSC hosts or participates in a number of leadership conferences, including the ACC Leadership Symposium, Multicultural Leadership Summit, Women’s Leadership Institute, and LeaderShape Institute, each of which develops leadership skills through a different lens. The Undergraduate Certificate in Leadership Studies is offered through the Leadership Learning Research Center, a joint effort of the College of Education and CLSC. Upon completion, the Leadership Certificate appears on students’ academic transcripts. This certificate is for students dedicated to learning about leadership development who wish to complete an 18-credit hour, interdisciplinary, multidimensional, and experiential program. The course of study prepares students for leadership in multiple contexts, and it uses practical experience and service-learning projects to frame leadership learning within a social change framework. The Center for Leadership & Social Change (CLSC)“We believe the benefits of a richly varied community arise not only from the diversity of people it includes, but more importantly from intentional efforts to create a strong sense of belonging that encourages deep and high-quality connections.” thecenter.fsu.eduDynamic Inclusiveness:A PREEMINENT FLORIDA UNIVERSITY | 19Josh BaerwaldSenior, Music Composition4,650The number of hours students who were recruited by community ambassadors served in local nonprofits 474students participated in leadership retreats through the center and its partners in 2017.FSU is one of ten universities in the nation recognized as a Diversity Champion by INSIGHT into Diversity magazine, 2017.Q: When you were a coordinator for the Service Leadership Seminar, what did you learn about mentorship?A: It taught me the value of keeping mentors and the value of being a mentor. I learned a lot from my mentors through this program, and they were always there for me. When it was time for me to take positional leadership in the program, I learned how to step up and be there for otherpeople. I’d like to think that my mentees gained a person who gave them advice and resources. Q: Which class influenced you most and will it influence you as you move from college to career?A: ‘Leadership and Change’ taught me how to cope with all types of adjustments in my life, and it also taught me how to help other people through periods of change—how to support them and create meaningful impact. It’s important to know who’s going to be affected by any decision to modify the status quo. In order to make deep, meaningful change, it’s vital to follow certain protocols and always keep others in mind.Q: What did you learn about working in teams?A: I learned that hierarchical structures aren’t always the best solution and that a lot of the world’s problems could be solved if we used less hierarchical versions of leadership. It would be so helpful if people in positions of power realized that everyone has value, and that everyone has strengths that can be relied on.Q: How do you feel about your decision to come to FSU?A: I think that coming to FSU was the best decision I ever made because it taught me the importance of kindness and helping anyone that you can. I made so many friends and this school has given me so much—I wouldn’t trade my experiences here for anything!Q: How did your understanding of leadership shift as you grew from attending the SLS, to facilitating it, and then to coordinating LOGIC? A: I learned that leadership is a process and identity is multifaceted. Often, people think there’s only one way to be a leader, but participating in these experiences demonstrated to me that leadership is an incredibly complex practice. You should always keep growing as a leader; even if you’ve been doing it for twenty years, you should still be learning!Q: How has your involvement with the CLSC played a part in your understanding of identity?A: The CLSC has helped me understand how identity impacts my life-experience and how it has influenced the way I act, how I’m perceived, and the way I’m treated in society. By extension, understanding my identity helps me enact positive and sustainable social change for the communities I’m a part of.Q: How have your instructors facilitated your growth as a thinker and composer? A: Dr. Clifton Callender provided me with the tools to self-reflect musically and personally. He guided me to become the self I wanted be. He encouraged me to think critically, act morally, and question myself. Professor Matthew Lata helped me work out various problems or ideas that I was experiencing in relationship to my community and my identity. He was always a great person to reflect with. Both teachers gave invaluable support in allowing me to do what I wanted—both within music and outside of it—and I continue to develop because I’m using the tools they gave me.Q: How did freshman Service Leadership Seminar (SLS) expose you to new people and experiences?A: The SLS strives to include people from as many different backgrounds and identities as possible. Participants converse about these various identities so that we can all gain a better understanding of experiences outside of our own. The spaces where we have these conversations feel comfortable and judgment free, which helps participants discuss difficult experiences or ideas knowing they’re in a respectful space.Candace TavaresSenior, Interdisciplinary Social SciencesNext >
