Event Made Possible Through a Partnership with Hudson County Community College and the National Society of Leadership and Success
Jersey City, N.J. – March 6, 2020 – The Saint Peter’s University chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) has partnered with Hudson County Community College (HCCC) chapter to sponsor an event featuring legendary fashion designer Steve Madden on Tuesday, March 10 in The Duncan Family Sky Room of the Mac Mahon Student Center at Saint Peter’s University. The event is free to all Saint Peter’s and HCCC students, alumni, staff and faculty and will be streamed live to NSLS chapters nationwide.
In 1990, with a mere $1,100 in the bank, Steve Madden followed his intuition and set out to create the next big thing: a footwear company able to anticipate consumer needs and subsequently deliver collections that were both cutting edge and highly saleable. Today, Madden whose eponymous company is currently worth over 3 billion dollars believes in educating young people on avoiding the mistakes he made. Madden will share with attendees the importance of never selling oneself short, avoiding shortcuts and how one’s past doesn’t have to define the future.
“We are very excited for the opportunity to welcome Steve Madden to our campus to impart his wisdom and experience with our students, the students of HCCC and all the members of our college communities,” said Jan Reimer, M.Ed., director for leadership and engagement for The Center for Leadership, Engagement and Orientation at Saint Peter’s University. “This event would not be possible without our affiliation with The National Society of Leadership and Success and we look forward to more opportunities for programming and partnerships in the future.”
This event is the sixth installment of the 2019-2020 multi-speaker broadcast series sponsored by the NSLS. The NSLS’s Speaker Broadcast series, which reaches more than 700 college campuses each month during the academic year, is designed to support the NSLS’s overall mission of building leaders who make a better world.
