Myles Forgue ’24
Marketing, Theology
Students in the Providence College School of Business are known for getting jobs before graduation, but Myles Forgue ’24 may be the first to have secured a job even before the end of his first year of classes.
While majoring in both marketing and theology, Myles was named director of internships and professional engagement at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Providence and East Bay, where he managed a team of 10 marketing interns.
Some may think that marketing and theology are an odd pairing, but Myles believes his vocation in business benefits from both disciplines.
“The combination of marketing and theology gives me the wisdom I need to do good, and to do it well,” he said.
Myles, from New Bedford, Massachusetts and the first in his family to attend a four-year college, came to Providence College from Bishop Stang High School in North Dartmouth. He was attending a Zoom session hosted by a friend when he learned about the opportunity to work with Habitat. The meeting welcomed local nonprofit leaders, and Myles was impressed by the knowledge and commitment of PC alum Mark Kravatz ’02, then senior director of strategy and government affairs for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Providence and East Bay.
When Kravatz mentioned he was looking for a marketing intern, Myles immediately began writing to him in the chat. Once on the job, he was tasked with creating a strategy to organize social media platforms. Six months later, he was named director of internships and professional engagement, managing marketing interns and mobilizing the organization’s digital presence by creating a newsletter and launching its Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts.
Myles also works in a hands-on capacity as PC’s Habitat chapter president, leading teams at regional builds, some of which are minutes from campus.
Myles also is a member of the Honors Program, an orientation coordinator, and chief content creator for the Benjamin Family Social Media Fellows, a group of 10 students who create social media content for the PC School of Business. He also is a paid marketing associate for ERI, a web design and app development company that provides marketing strategies for colleges and universities.
Busy as he is, he visits St. Dominic Chapel every day.
“At least once a day I make sure to make my way over to the chapel, whether it’s to carve out that time for a moment of peace and for a moment of prayer or going right downstairs to campus ministry to visit my friends,” he said.
- Small class sizes, spring break trips to amazing destinations, and peer mentoring have made the Honors Program a special experience for 60 years.
- Orientation leaders help new students acclimate to college life and arrive at campus early each fall to prepare.
- The Benjamin Family Social Media Fellowship allows students to manage and strategize about social media for the Providence College School of Business.
