Gail Marquis clawed her way to greatness. She wasn’t born with success, she earned it. Gail Marquis is a proud, determined University of Phoenix graduate. This film presents a look at Marquis’ life, paired with the voiceover of author Maya Angelou reciting her poem “Still I Rise”. She was on the first US women’s basketball team to compete in the 1976 Olympics, she was the first woman to work on Wall Street in the 80’s, she was a pioneer for LGBTQ rights.
The commercial ran during the Rio Olympic Games, chosen at a moment to showcase the best in class creative, celebrating the basketball champion and alumna, recognizing her lifelong accomplishments both on and off the court.
