HC: What is your position?RA: I am the event planner and I’m in charge of scheduling the shopping parties. Our first one is going to be in November, and the date is to be determined! I am working on incentives on what will be given to the Fairfield students who show up to the first shopping party, which is exciting. That’s my main goal right now!
HC: That is so awesome! I’m excited. Why should girls on campus know about this?RA: Well, girls should know about Lord and Taylor because first of all, it was the first department store in America. Secondly, it’s a company that gives power to women; they were the first major store on Fifth Avenue in New York City to name a woman as president! It’s a company that gives power to women, and they want to reach out to us Collegiettes. There is something for everyone at Lord and Taylor, there really is.
