Terry Lundgren speaks at the Morehouse Leadership Lecture Series
Each year, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s recruit hundreds of new college graduates into entry level
executive positions. They include buyers, planners, store management executives, product
managers, systems developers, website developers, accountants, human resources and financial
analysts – everything an industry-leading retailer needs to win with the customer.
As we hire from campuses, we are looking for high-caliber, diverse talent who have the right skill
set and the drive to be successful. We seek smart, hard-working, self-motivated and entrepreneurial
students who want to accelerate into leadership roles. These are the kind of students every company
wants to hire.
Terry Lundgren, Macy’s, Inc. chairman, president and CEO, feels so
strongly about recruiting our future leadership that he personally spends
time on various college campuses talking to students. He recently spoke at
Emory University in Atlanta and also at the Morehouse Leadership Lecture
Series, where students from Morehouse, Spelman and Clark Atlanta were in
attendance. “You have heard me say many times that the key to our successful
business is the talent of our people,” Lundgren said. “We must invest in
tomorrow’s leaders to continue this legacy. It is vital that we have a presence
on America’s college campuses."
