In 2007, TOMS was a small startup shoe company with one mission: to provide a pair of shoes for children in need for every pair bought. Today, TOMS has given over one million pairs of shoes in more than 40 countries. With a desire to build a college internship structure, as a college coordinator I successfully planned and carried out a college marketing campaign at Pepperdine University that has been replicated throughout hundreds of American universities, and also launched the "Day Without Shoes" in 2008 that today boasts over one million participants.
