Sara Trowbridge and Haley Porter are this year's Auburn University PINK campus representatives and put together the event.

"They bring out a pink carpet and all of their winter collection that hasn't been seen in stores, online or in catalogs yet, so the girls at Auburn will get a firsthand look at it. It's like a store on campus," Porter, a junior in engineering, said.

There are only 13 schools involved in the Campus Tour and Auburn was chosen as one of the campuses to be visited by a "PINK pop-up shop," which carries never before seen collections.

"Our roles and responsibilities as interns are to sign girls up for PINK Nation, which is the free members club that gets them freebies and special promotions," Porter said. "When girls sign up they put their school down and it tallies how many are registered from Auburn."

Porter said when she first heard about the internship she didn't know if she would qualify because she is an engineering major, but she used it to her advantage to reach out to other girls about the brand instead of strictly business and liberal arts students, which is what the internship typically targets.

Porter and Trowbridge were flown to corporate headquarters for three days in Columbus, Ohio, where they received special brand training for their year-long internship. Both report to Caroline Wilson, the corporate PINK representative in Columbus.

"We put in about 20 hours per week," Trowbridge, a sophomore in public relations, said. "We love doing it so it's not really work for us. It's a lot of fun. We even get to help out on game days and take pictures for PINK's Game Day Style Spotter and some of the pictures have already been uploaded to vspink.com."

The next campus-wide fundraiser will be the Happy Project, a clothing drive to raise 2,500 donations for the Salvation Army.

Porter and Trowbridge have been passing out the PINK Collegiate Coupons for $10 off of any $30 purchase that can be used on Thursday. The event will also feature a prize wheel that will give girls the opportunity to win PINK mini dogs or gift cards and the items sold can only be purchased with a debit, credit or angel card.
