Elizabeth Galanti was along for the ride during her brother\u2019s campus tour at NC State when she discovered it was where she wanted to go. As one of triplets from Herndon, Virginia, she\u2019d done more than a few college visits during high school. Galanti cites the energy of the campus and the city of Raleigh as part of what pulled her to NC State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was amazed by the technology here, the possibility of blending an interest in fashion with a bachelor of science \u2014 all of it.\u201d She decided to attend the Summer Textiles Exploration Program<\/a>(STEP) at the Wilson College of Textiles. \u201cOnce I did STEP  \u2014 and had my first taste of Cookout \u2014 I knew NC State was the place where I could make my career dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NC\u00a0State\u2019s Wilson College of Textiles program in\u00a0Fashion and Textile Management<\/a>\u00a0provided the interdisciplinary approach she was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Elizabeth<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn an academic level, I think our college is unmatched. Whether in groundbreaking technology, accessible design, or new marketing techniques, our ideas have the potential to change the lives of consumers for the better. Plus, its small size has been great for facilitating relationships with professors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galanti made use of many resources during her time at NC State, including the Makerspace<\/a> at D.H. Hill Library, during a recent case-study competition for the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund. \u201cWhere else do you have access to 3-D printers like this? I went to the Makerspace for inspiration, and to find the best machines.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nod to her minor in journalism<\/a>, she served as deputy editor-in-chief for the print evolution of PackFashion<\/a>, which was spearheaded by fellow Wilson College of Textiles student and friend Jasmine Mason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"a<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Galanti describes her years at NC State as \u201ca whirlwind,\u201d that included a turn as an RA in Sullivan Hall her sophomore year, work as a writing tutor at the University Tutorial Center<\/a> and presidency of the a cappella group Ladies In Red<\/a> her junior and senior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything I have committed to represents a piece of me, which is advice I would give other students: Do what you love, because it will drive you toward success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galanti also volunteered weekly at the YMCA, helping students hone their writing and reading skills. \u201cIt\u2019s a tiny way for me to give back. A college campus can feel like a bubble, so connecting with communities in Raleigh has really made this city feel like home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do what you love, because it will drive you toward success.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like many NC State students, Galanti solidified her career plans with an internship<\/a>, serving as a public affairs intern with the American Apparel and Footwear Association. \u201cFrom sitting in on NAFTA panels at United State Trade Representative\u2019s Office, to hearing from retail leaders on what the store of the future looks like, I had access to a wealth of information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next for Galanti?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn August, I\u2019m starting with Kohl\u2019s product development office at their corporate headquarters just outside of Milwaukee,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone has told me I\u2019m going to freeze after living in North Carolina for four years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n\n\n
