The opportunity to prepare for a career in fashion, combined with being selected as a Centennial Scholar<\/a>, drew Rosa Stancil to the Wilson College of Textiles<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI always knew I wanted to study abroad and I knew the Centennial Scholarship<\/a> would enable me to do that,\u201d Stancil says. \u201cUsing my enrichment funds, I was able to see a lot more of Europe than I would have been able to otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Stancil is graduating from the brand management and marketing<\/a> program in just three years, she\u2019s packed more into her college experience than many super seniors have. However, she\u2019s still had time to find her community, most notably through Platform<\/a>, NC State\u2019s student-run fashion and culture magazine. She currently serves as its editorial director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI joined Platform my first year, and just being around so many creative students has been such a humbling and wonderful experience. It\u2019s been such a great balance to my STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] education here at NC State to be pushed creatively by such a talented team,\u201d she says.\u201cThat community has honestly been what I feel like I\u2019ve learned from the most and has just been a joy to be a part of.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
