Lowe’s embraces the importance of a diverse and inclusive workforce. The company is a leader in recruiting and developing talent in the Latino and African-American communities. One ex- ample comes from Patricia Cuero Nielsen, who holds a degree in nuclear science engineering from the University of Florida and an M.B.A. in information technology from the University of Phoenix. She said Lowe’s offers a realm of possibilities.
“A career at Lowe’s is not limited to one’s area of expertise (and) people with technical skills don’t have to limit them- selves to IT,” Patricia said. “For those of us who seek to be- come general managers or lead teams, Lowe’s presents those opportunities (and) there is room for those who make the effort to excel with the company.”
Lowe’s leaders emphasize that their outreach represents a major change to traditional retail—a change top talent will find very attractive. It’s a career lifecycle in which new talent wanting to be more than “a cog in a wheel” can grow and contribute in an encouraging and welcoming environment that is enthusiastic about innovation and collaboration. “Never stop improving” is not just an advertising slogan at Lowe’s. It’s a lifestyle for customers and our employees.

our dorm room might be your first room you will live in away from home. The best way to decorate your dorm room on a budget is to give it some familiarity to your home atmosphere. Bring along pictures of family members and pets. These can help decorate your dorm room and also remind you of home, where your heart is.
Lowe’s offers a variety of beautiful picture frames that will accent your walls and make your room unique and homey.
Remember you will also be sharing your room with another person, so you will want to compromise once getting there to keep your room in keeping with your roommate’s wishes also. You should begin cooperating with your roommate to create a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere.
Dorm rooms are many times not the largest spaces; how- ever, Lowe’s provides merchandise such as wall and door hooks, bed risers and shelves that assist in maximizing your space.
Having to share a small space with another person can be a challenge, especially since your room at home is currently full of knick knacks and other personal belongings. If your closet is a disaster and the thought of fitting all your stuff into a dorm concerns you, consider investing in Lowe’s closet organizers which provide you with storage for shoes, towels, wash cloths etc.
While sharing your room, it is important to keep your side tidy. It’s very easy for papers to overtake your desk space when you start bringing back homework from class, notes and syllabuses. Try getting folders for each class and store them in a drawer or file.
