Driven. That may be the best word to describe graduating senior Hannah Stoltz. By the time she entered high school, Stoltz had decided she wanted to work in the fashion industry. By the time she started her senior year at the Wilson College of Textiles, she\u2019d already secured a position at her dream company, Gap Inc. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGap\u2019s whole portfolio of brands has been with me through every stage of life, whether that was Old Navy back-to-school shopping, or the iconic Gap denim jeans, or working out in Athleta apparel, or going to Banana Republic and buying an outfit for your first job,\u201d the <\/span>fashion and textile management<\/span><\/a> student says. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Next month, this North Carolina native will head to New York City to begin her role as an assistant merchandiser for Gap Women. In August, she\u2019ll move to San Francisco for Gap Inc.’s Rotational Management Program (RMP). While attending what\u2019s referred to as the \u201cHarvard of retail,\u201d she\u2019ll receive training and earn experience in each facet of the retail industry and all of Gap\u2019s brands. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n She says the Wilson College of Textiles provided her with the knowledge, experience and connections to launch her career at one of the world\u2019s most recognized brands, plus memories to hold on to for a lifetime. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
