Fashion/Merchandising Presentations & Women Leaders Luncheon at CSU-Long Beach


On October 5th, Kohl's Territory Sr. VP- Anne Horter presented to a series of classrooms, and also hosted a “Women leaders luncheon” for multiple student organization leaders on campus.

The first two classroom presentations included “Kohl’s 101” – learning about Kohl’s mission, values, brands, and MIT/Intern opportunities. The third presentation was about “Kohl’s Branding” – which taught how a product is developed into a brand, as well as our marketing approach to ensure a successful brand launch -- using new exclusive brands, “Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony” as examples.

In partnership with Career Services, Anne & Courtney Graf, University Relations Manager, also hosted a panel for 13 female student organization leaders during a leadership luncheon on campus at the student union.
Students learned about leadership & growth opportunities at Kohl’s, and were able to ask multiple questions of a Senior executive leader. Kohl's hopes to visit many of the organizations for an “Executive speaker series” in the future!

I just wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to come speak to my class today.
We all were very fortunate to listen to your advice and I sure will take into consideration all your tips—especially the “Rachel Green” remark. I am so eager to graduate that sometimes I forget that I should take my time and take advantage of all the opportunities companies such as Kohl’s offer. I will definitely try to make it to the career fair. Hope to see you there.”
