Campaign: Talent Initiatives at Deloitte

Deloitte Maximum Impact participants Delarro Greer and Steven Gacki from Michigan State engage Kingsbury Middle School students during lunch to speak to them about the importance of following a path to higher education. During this alternative spring break program, undergraduate students not only had the opportunity to give back to the community, but to make valuable career connections working alongside Deloitte professionals.

Four Penn State students – Vasha Bucker, Amber Smith, Emily Grier and Uma Patarkine – pose for a picture with Steve Mesler, US Olympian gold medalist, after his keynote regarding a high-performance culture and his not-for-profit Classroom Champions.

Olympic bobsled champion Steve Mesler spoke to Deloitte Maximum Impact participants this week about the connection between high performance and community service in Memphis, TN! Here, he shares his insights on his involvement with Deloitte’s Maximum Impact and how this opportunity will impact the student participants….

“This is an opportunity to show students that there is nothing a little determination and persistence can’t achieve as they begin on their career journeys. These students are the leaders of tomorrow and have the power to not only bring value to the workplace, but to impact society in a transformative way that can leave a long-lasting footprint on how businesses give back to the community.”
