Kohl's Classroom Presentations at Washington State University


On Tuesday March 1st, and Wednesday March 2nd, Kohl's Regional Vice President & Washington State University Alum Michele Fitzgibbon and University Relations Manager Courtney Graf completed a series of events on campus. Michele presented “Leadership Skills” to 25 students in the Merchandising school, 175 students in a Management course, and “The 5 Roles of a Manager” to a Women in Management course of 30 students – reaching in total, over 230 WSU students!

Michele and Courtney also hosted 8 WSU faculty members in various departments and Career Services for a Faculty Breakfast to learn more about Kohl’s, and opportunities for WSU students. The breakfast ran for an hour, and included a “Kohl’s 101” and great Q&A discussion.

“Kohl's seems like a great company to work for; I was particularly impressed with how much employees can advance within the company in such a short period of time! Thank you so much for making the trip up here and presenting at Washington State” – WSU Student

Kohl’s will be back on campus late March for final interviews, and April 14th for the Carson Etiquette Dinner!

Other events this semester included a “Dress for Success” event with the SIFE organization (2/8), and sponsorship of the Business Case Study Competition 1st place prize on campus (3/4).
