I'm excited to continue to meet more and more ladies with similar backgrounds and to build a community that can brainstorm around topics like encouraging girls to keep their interest in math and science or career development to help STEM women interested in promotion be at their best.

Mary asked Jennifer Polivka, Nike Added Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at 6:16 PM Is it possible to get an internship with Nike as a non-engineering or design major? Hi Jennifer! I am currently an exercise science major in my 3rd year. I have just realized my path and that I want to combine my biomechanics background with my love for fashion and yearn to innovate in performance wear.

Kathleen asked Jennifer Polivka, Nike Added Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 4:38 PM How do I combine engineering and fashion and work my way up in the industry? Currently, I am a junior mechanical engineering student and am working towards finding a job/internship/co-op dealing with fashion design. I want to apply my engineering and creative design skills and I believe Nike would be a great place to pitch some of my ideas. In the past, I have taken a fashion and design class, material science class, and am currently in a material selection course which directly relate to working in this industry but I also know how to relate my thermodynamics, fluid ...

The past work experiences that my peers and I have had is SUPER broad ...Read More
