We were named to College Media Matters’ Top 10 List!

A few weeks ago, College Media Matters announced the CMM10, their list of the top 10 individuals who have mattered most to college media over the past year, and Windsor, Annie, and I were included!

The writer asked each of us to give a sort of testimonial about one of the other three!  I wrote about Windsor, Windsor wrote about Annie, and Annie wrote about me. 

Here is what I had to say about Windsor!

“I feel so lucky to have met and been able to work with my co-founder Windsor Hanger. Windsor and I met during our sophomore year at Harvard College, working on Harvard’s online lifestyle and fashion magazine. We quickly realized what an incredible team we made and how much we enjoyed working together. After taking over leadership of the magazine and seeing its performance skyrocket, we knew we had to take what we had learned there and turn it into a real business.  After countless hours- at all hours of the night- spent working, we entered and went on to win Harvard’s business plan competition with our plan for what is now Her Campus. We then spent last summer preparing Her Campus for its launch in September 2009, and then spent this year running our company.

I love working with Windsor because she is so driven, such a go-getter, and so passionate.  Her endless will and energy have allowed us to accomplish so much in such a short time. She is always willing to learn and never scared of taking on a new project. Plus she’s a lot of fun to be around! Windsor is not only an amazing business partner, but also an amazing friend, and I feel so lucky to get to work with her every day!”
