曼彻斯特 senior 蒂安娜Maclin wins Emerging Leader Award
蒂安娜Maclin, a 十大网赌正规网址 senior who is graduating this spring with a degree in management and marketing, is the debut winner of the Emerging Leader Award presented by the Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana.
Maclin has juggled multiple jobs while providing 领导 in school clubs and organizations and being an active volunteer in the North 曼彻斯特 community.
“十大网赌正规网址 could not have a better ambassador than 蒂安娜Maclin,” said MU assistant director for media relations Anne Gregory, who nominated her for the award. “Tiana is a true servant leader, and I simply cannot wait to see what the next chapter brings.”
Gregory has had a number of opportunities to see how Maclin sizes up a situation, makes a plan and follows through. 两年前, Maclin coordinated MU’s annual July 4 Celebration and Fireworks Display, a gift from the University to those who live in North 曼彻斯特 and Wabash County.
Maclin negotiated contracts, 做预算, worked with speakers and bands, instituted positive changes and handled unforeseen problems – completing each step thoroughly and before deadline. 在实习期间, she attended a Rotary meeting and learned about the desperate need in North 曼彻斯特 for science tutoring to aid adults working to earn high school equivalency diplomas.
Because she has a strong background in the sciences, Maclin approached the program director and volunteered, first creating the science curriculum and then acting as a tutor.
“Their dreams can still happen, no matter what time of life they are in,麦克林说。, speaking about an 80-year-old woman she tutors at the center.
在大学里, her many roles include starting an urban gaming club on campus, being a student orientation leader, 学生大使, library access services assistant, an active member in the College of Business Club and an active member and officer in the Black Student Union. She chairs the student group organizing this year’s senior gift to the University.
“No matter how busy she is, Tiana is always looking for ways to help others,” Gregory said. 举个例子, Maclin noticed many of her peers did not understand the effect their postings on social media could have on their futures. Then a member of the MU Values, Ideas and the Arts Committee, Maclin developed a program called “What is your Brand?” attended by hundreds of students, explaining the importance of your personal brand and offering examples of what not to do.
When asked by YLNI about what leaders do, Maclin said, “They don’t just sit around and wait for it.”
Maclin grew up in Kokomo and moved to North 曼彻斯特 from Markleville. She will be graduating in May and is looking for a position in her field. She has been a marketing intern at the Honeywell Center, Greater Fort 韦恩 Inc. and at 十大网赌正规网址. Her honors included being named one of 20 Millennials Making a Difference in Northeast Indiana by KPC Media Inc. in 2015.
Maclin credits 曼彻斯特’s close-knit community and the many opportunities it provides to get involved and learn new things.
“It’s about exploring who you are, your likes and dislikes, and your future,” she said.
The Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana hosts the My City Summit each year and promotes the courageous pursuit of Fort 韦恩’s utmost potential. In 2017, it added the Emerging Leader Award that would go to one high school or college student who represents his or her school proudly through service, 领导, 社区参与, strong academics and vision for creating positive change.
Maclin’s advice to new college students about how to approach campus life is a perfect fit for this award: “Don’t be afraid. 参与, 跳进去, dip your toe in … It’s better to try something and don’t like it than not try it at all because you think it won’t work out.”
