Kohl’s Corp. is donating $3 million to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for its retail center.
The gift will fund a state-of-the-art facility within an expanded and renovated School of Human Ecology building, part of the $48 million expansion of the human ecology building. It’s the largest corporate gift to the school.
Kohl’s President Kevin Mansell says the company aggressively recruits retail students from UW-Madison, about 70 miles from Kohl’s Menomonee Falls headquarters. About 10 percent of Kohl’s executives are UW-Madison graduates, Mansell said.
