6 Reasons Why You Should Join Her Campus at Winthrop

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

Joining Her Campus is probably one of the best decisions that you’ll make at Winthrop. While being a part of this campus organization, you will gain professional experience, your own writing style, and increase your communication skills. The HC Winthrop team is inspiring, empowering, and a family, and we want you to join our team!

Here’s why:

1. The connections you make are unreal. You meet girls from all over the world. Her Campus has become such a global community that there are campus chapters not only in North America, but also in Europe, South America, and so much more. Being a part of the Her Campus community means creating lifelong friends not just at your school’s chapter, but also from all over. Who knows, you might end up flying to the UK to visit your British BFF soon.

2. It’s a huge resume booster. Since HC is the number one online magazine for college women, having Her Campus experience on your resume is super impressive to a future employer. They know HC and they know what it is. You even might have connections with some of the company’s employees because you both worked with Her Campus in college. In the end, your resume will sparkle with the words “Her Campus Media” on it. Promise.

3. You have the freedom to write about what you want. Do you have a strong view about why leggings are pants? You can write about it. Do you want to write a personal piece about a family member’s illness? You can write about it. HC Winthrop encourages you to express who you are.

4. HC Winthrop is fun and professional. Winthrop’s chapter of Her Campus not only provides a fun environment to be in, but also a professional one. Being a part of this organization means you are a Her Campus collegiette. Own it! 

5. You can attend super fun Her Campus events. Not only can you participate in events on your campus, but you can also attend some amazing events that Her Campus Nationals hosts throughout the country which makes it super fun to meet more HC members. Some fun events include College Fashion Week, Her Conference, and much more!

6. You’re surrounded by amazing women who will empower and inspire you.  There’s nothing like women empowerment and HC is all about that! At HC Winthrop, we encourage you to be the absolute best college woman you can be and we believe in your fullest potential. When you’re surrounded by other women who encourage you and empower you, there is no greater feeling in the world.
