A Spotlight on BET’s Aulston Taylor

Aulston Taylor exemplifies the true spirit of Viacom. On the job, he’s boosted BET Network’s roster of clients by a dozen or more advertisers in the last 24 months and was named 40 Under 40 by Texas Southern University’s Business School, his undergraduate alma mater. Off the job, he’s most recently doubled downed on his education by graduating from NYU with his Masters in Integrated Marketing focused on Brand Management.

Aulston has spent his entire life striving and demanding excellence for himself and while his job may require him to be in New York, Aulston has done anything but leave New Orleans, his hometown, behind. He is connected to the city in more ways than one; specifically, his commitment to the youth of New Orleans.

Viacom and NYC Service Help the Disadvantaged Pack for College

On Monday, June 11, Viacom interns and employees gathered in a pop music-filled conference room at the company’s Times Square headquarters. They had come to join Viacommunity – Viacom’s social-responsibility arm – to assemble duffle bags full of towels, sheet sets, laundry bags, comforters, backpacks and other items for disadvantaged college-bound students.

The two-hour event was part of Project Move-In Day, a collaboration between the Mayor’s Office of New York City’s NYC Service program, the New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS), and corporations such as Viacom that aims to provide 150 homeless or disadvantaged students with a packaged bag of dorm necessities at a summer send-off reception honoring their hard work and dedication.

JetBlue today launched its eighth annual Soar with Reading initiative, which provides free books to children who need them most.

Reflections on World Refugee Day: Lessons from Lebanon

More than 65 million people around the world have been forcibly displaced, a record high since World War II, according to the U.N. Refugee Agency.
