Calling all writers! Her Campus at Penn State is accepting new members to our team for the spring semester.
In case you’re curious as to what you’re signing on for, allow us to introduce you to the #1 global community for college women – HerCampus.com. Launched in 2009 by three fabulous Harvard grads, this national publication is written entirely by the world’s top college journalists with over 7,000 contributing writers and almost 300 campus chapters across the globe. Delivering content on love, life, beauty, health and much more, Her Campus proudly boasts the tagline “A Collegiette’s Guide to Life”™
As the Penn State chapter of this national organization, Her Campus at Penn State allows student writers to become published authors through our personal microsite featuring topics exciting and relevant to young women within the Penn State community. Though our main focus is on the writing and ensuring we continually post content to our page, we consider ourselves to be a fully developed organization of The Pennsylvania State University and continually seek out ways to develop our chapter’s publicity, social media buzz and philanthropic efforts.
So if you’re interested in joining us, please follow THIS LINK to our online application. The application is brief but vital in helping us discover the passion and perseverance we look for in our members. Applications are due Wednesday, Jan. 13 at 11:59 p.m.
NOTE: As you’ll see in the application, we do require that you send us your resumé along with a brief (300-500 word) sample prompt that could serve as a potential article for our site and exemplifies the type of writing you enjoy most. These are both due by the deadline along with the online form.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to our CCs Rachael and Meghan at psu@hercampus.com.
Good luck, collegiettes!
