We're Back!

Hello everyone!

After a long (and busy!) summer, we cannot be more excited to have everyone back on campus for another great semester.  We have a great year planned, with plenty of excitement and enthusiasm from everyone both in-and-outside the Center.  Some things to look forward to for the coming year:

- The continuation of the hit "Retail Lecture Series" (September 14th), this year featuring Kohl's Director and Divisional Planning Manager, Bob Baus

- A star-studded lineup for the Retail Leadership Symposium, including W. Paul Jones (Chairman, President, and CEO of ShopKo), Lorna Nagler (CEO of Christopher and Banks), and many more

-  Another great year of programming and trips from the Student Retail Association

- Trips to New York and Monterey Bay (and maybe even back to China!)

- Another exciting Board of Advisor's meeting (late April)

- And much more!


As always, we want to thank our Corporate partners for their ongoing expertise and generous contributions of both time and money.  Without you, the Center wouldn't exist, and your continual support only grows the ability to reach a broader, more talented pool of young retailers. 

Also, make sure you follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get the most up-to-date info about the Center's happenings!  Search "Kohl's Center for Retailing Excellence" on Facebook, and "kcre_uwmadison" on Twitter.

Here's to a great semester and year, and as always...

ON WISCONSIN!
