Read all about Paige Jeffrey's work with Rent the Runway!
What girl doesn’t love fashion and a good deal? As a representative for Rent the Runway On Camus this year, I have the opportunity to offer the ladies of University of Oregon an amazing chance to wear designer dresses for just a fraction of retail price. Maddy Robinson and I work with an awesome group of girls who share the same passion for style. As Runway Reps, we work under headquarters in New York City to bring the Rent the Runway company to our school and the West Coast. We are just 1 of 150 RTR campus programs across the United States who promote to their schools and plan fun events such as trunk shows and fashion shows. Due to the great success of our social media competition during Greek Week this Fall, our referrals exceeded 300 and we became one on the top ten RTR campus programs nationwide. We are so excited to continue to bring this company to U of O, especially focusing on sororities this Spring with formals coming up.
Even though I have only been involved with this internship for six months, I have learned so much about working in a group in a more professional way. Unlike school project groups, Rent the Runway forces us to think in a completely business-like mindset while still having fun and promoting fashion! We have to deal with staying within a budget, working with other groups, and gaining new members each month. As the PR rep, I have come to love that part of communication even more and am proud to say that it will continue to be the field in which I focus and will someday have a career in.
Rent the Runway has made me realize that Public Relations is very fast paced and competitive. It is exciting to be part of a program that let’s me experience how a nationwide company runs, while connecting with my peers at U of O. All of the representatives in our group are so eager to make Rent the Runway a strong force and a smart choice for many formal events and opportunities here at Oregon.
It was important for me to branch outside of Alpha Chi Omega to gain experience in PR and help make an influence on campus in some way. Like so many girls in our sorority, it is so awesome to be able to do things outside of our chapter and then come back and share the experiences with sisters and try to get them involved too. Rent the Runway excites me since it is unlike anything else out there, and the fact that I can be involved with an on campus program is very ideal. I hope that with our upcoming Spring fashion show on March 11th ladies from all areas of our university will come together to experience what a great option renting dresses is. Wear. Love. Return.
This seems like the perfect job for Paige! Paige always looks five times as fashionable as I do, so she is clearly putting her passion for fashion and PR to work. It is great to know that Paige is involved in something that she loves!
