East Lansing local Mia Varricchione joined Her Campus MSU during her first year and has decided to continue her membership with the club into her senior year. As a senior at Michigan State University double majoring in Professional & Public Writing and Public Policy, she believed Her Campus would give her the opportunity to advance her writing skills. She has since been promoted to an editor. She also works as an undergraduate learning assistant for classes varying on topics such as racial dynamics in the US, the policy process, and elections.
To bolster her writing portfolio, Mia accepted an internship with the Flint Disability Network in Flint, Michigan in her first summer at college, Senator Kevin S. Parker from Brooklyn, New York in her second, the Wayne County Treasurer’s Office in her third, and House candidate John Paul Torres’ campaign over the first half of 2026.
She has composed articles and explored intersectionality around disabilities for the non-profit for the Disability Network, an environmental bill for the New York State Senate, and a tax foreclosure auction policy brief for Wayne County. For Her Campus, she’s written articles ranging from political analyzes to social commentary. Mia aspires to work professionally at a clean energy initiative in the future.
