What Makes Interning At Kohl's An Amazing Experience

For the past 10 weeks, I have been interning at Kohl’s Corporate Offices. Store Operations and Experiences (S.O.E.) is the department within Kohl’s that I have had the opportunity to work in. Within S.O.E., I am the intern for the Communications Team which are liaisons between Corporate and Kohl’s Department Stores across the country. It has been an amazing and rewarding experience. The Internship Program at Kohl’s is incredible and provides students real-world experiences that will be beneficial after graduating from our own universities. The following are a few highlights that I have taken away from this internship.

1. Informative Tasks.

In the beginning of my internship, I was given a project where I had to analyze readership for one of the communication vehicles my team is responsible for. The communication vehicle is a weekly email that gets sent to different levels of managers at Kohl’s. I also had the opportunity to write articles for store associates. My writing and editing experiences at Kohl’s have provided me with new knowledge and improved skills.

2. Great Teams and Associates.

Each intern is fortunate to pair with a manager and a coach, and in some cases a sponsor, within a team. I was very lucky to work with the most amazing team. My manager, coach and team were the best mentors and provided me with rewarding opportunities this summer.

3. Diverse Opportunities.

In addition to working on my project, I had the opportunity to meet many people in various departments within Kohl’s, such as Risk Management, Social Media, Public Relations, Copy Editing and Internal Communication. It has allowed me to build professional relationships and maintain them.

4. Eventful Excursions.

In addition to my time at the office, interns have the opportunity to go on excursions throughout the summer. With fellow interns, I went to a Brewer’s Game and a music event called Chill on the Hill. I also had a team event where we went to Escape Milwaukee. They were all unforgettable experiences.

If you have had or currently are in an internship, you know the beneficial takeaways from an internship. I didn’t expect half the things I got to experience. Kohl’s provided me new knowledge of the corporate world as well as an insight of their company and culture. I will never forget this rewarding and amazing experience.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
