We know you love Her Campus Clemson, but here's a chance to get to know the people behind the content! If you'd like to join us, e-mail Paige at paigedolton@hercampus.com

Paige Dolton
Paige is a junior at Clemson University majoring in communication studies and minoring in business and technical writing. Hailing from Northern Virginia, she is the campus correspondent and founder of Her Campus Clemson, as well as VP of membership programming for her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, and a contributing writer for The Tiger. She loves writing and photography, and after studying abroad in France this summer, she hopes to someday be a photographer and writer for a travel magazine. She has a strong passion (obsession) for social media, and when she's not tweeting or Facebook stalking, you can find her watching Criminal Minds and Glee, inhaling Chipotle burritos (FINALLY COMING TO CLEMSON!), jamming out to swing music, or shopping for new gameday outfits. GO TIGERS!
 
Beth Bouknight
Beth is a sophomore at Clemson University majoring in Graphic Communications. From Columbia, South Carolina, she is the Co-Manager/Publicity and Events Director of Her Campus Clemson, as well as a sister of the Chi Omega sorority.  She plans to study abroad in Italy the summer of her junior year and study International Marketing. Her plans after college (hopefully) consist of working with the advertising/marketing department of any major fashion magazine. She loves anything to do with advertising and social media, so when she is not consumed in the world of Pintrest, Facebook, or Twitter, she is either watching The Bachelor (Go Kacie B.!), CSI (all versions) or Baggage. She is looking excited about the new addition to Clemson University and is going to do everything she can to make Her Campus Clemson a success! Go Tigers!

If she's not in class, you can most likely find her at Starbucks. She loves making people laugh even if it's unintentional. The beautiful weather and school spirit on campus made it impossible to not fall in love with Clemson University, but she'll always be a city girl at heart.

She loves to read and write as well as dance and is practically music obsessed. She loves Clemson (who wouldn’t) and LOVES Clemson Football. She also likes watching virtually every sport, although she is not particularly athletic (which is a nice way of saying she just lacks coordination in general.) Among her other interests are fro-yo dates with her lovely roommates and friends, crafting (thanks to Pinterest and stumble upon which got her hooked) and when she’s not living it up in Clemson, she loves spending time with family and friends in her hometown of Charleston, SC. Being a true low-country girl, she naturally loves the beach and being on the water in general, and during the summer you can find her spending all of her freetime there. She doesn’t know what she wants to do when she grows up, but her love of travel, design, art and writing is sure to take her to many amazing places and on more than a few incredible adventures, starting with a semester abroad in Italy in the fall and a program in New York the following summer.

Her favorite hobbies include walks in downtown Charleston, soccer, golf, and fishing and crabbing. She also enjoys watching Kardashians repeats a million times (mostly to see Mason Disick), traveling, picking out future homes, and lazy Sundays with a few good Lifetime flicks.

A self-professed fitness junkie, Lanie loves to be active, take as many Zumba classes as possible and most days you can find her in the gym.
