Nicholas Morrison

Nick has spent 13 years at Nike, where he has worn many hats across the product creation and supply chain ecosystem. His experience includes material development, operations, materials integrity risk assessment, and product integrity issue management. He studied History and Business at the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!), grounding his work in a blend of analytical thinking, storytelling, and strategic perspective.

A Great Books student who later came back for four years as a Program Assistant on our Stanford and Oxford campuses, Nick tells us that he “lived for the moments when students bonded, recited poetry for the first time, or surprised everyone at the talent show. Great Books is truly a place where everyone can belong — a community that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and the courage to be yourself.”

And yes—he was absolutely the one leading the fountain‑jumping adventures across Stanford’s campus while confused tourists looked on!
