Her Campus is a national digital magazine and media platform dedicated to empowering college women by amplifying their voices, fostering community, and providing career-building opportunities across campuses worldwide. As the student representative of Her Campus at Skidmore College, I’m honored to be leading the growth, development, and editorial direction of our chapter.
I am proud to have taken the initiative to bring the club back to campus in January 2023, after it became inactive in 2020 due to COVID-19. By putting up posters around campus and creating an Instagram account to attract students to join, I built a community of 49 students within our chapter.
I am excited to contribute to the Skidmore Her Campus Chapter and to empower and support college women through this incredible community. I can’t wait to see what I will achieve with my Skidmore Her Campus chapter team!”

Alternative: Using the Organization Section
Some Her Campus members prefer to list their roles in the Organization section of LinkedIn instead of the Experience section. For example, Lily Klau, Treasurer of Her Campus at Skidmore, added her position as:
Career Section Editor · Sep 2024 – May 2025
Skidmore College
“A Career Section Editor for Her Campus on a college campus is responsible for managing and editing all content related to careers on the Her Campus website, including articles about job searching, internships, resume writing, career development advice, industry insights, and company profiles, essentially providing students with relevant career information and resources tailored to their campus and field of study.”
Using the Organization section can be especially helpful if you want to highlight leadership, volunteer, or extracurricular experience without creating a separate “job” entry.
Alternative: Listing Her Campus in Education
Another approach is to mention your Her Campus experience in the Education section, under Activities and Societies. For example, Katie Wilds, Wellness Section Editor, included her Her Campus role like this:
Skidmore College
B.S. in Biology & B.A. in Psychology (Double Major) · Sep 2021 – Dec 2025
Activities and Societies:
- Editor for Skidmore Her Campus Magazine
- Benef-action
- Pre-Health Club
- Outing Club
This method is great if you want to highlight involvement alongside academic achievements and other student organizations, rather than listing it as a separate professional experience.
Alternative: Using the Volunteering Section
Former Skidmore Her Campus member Maddy Rader (Class of 2025) mentioned her experience in the Volunteering section of LinkedIn. This is a great option if you want to highlight Her Campus as a service-oriented or extracurricular commitment rather than as work experience.
Her entries looked like this:
Her Campus Media
TikTok Manager · Jan 2025 – May 2025 (5 mos)
Monitored and ran the Skidmore branch of Her Campus TikTok.
Her Campus Media
Editor · May 2023 – May 2025 (2 yrs 1 mo)
Served on the e-board as an editor and writer for the Skidmore chapter of Her Campus Magazine. Collaborated with other clubs to sponsor events supporting women and female empowerment.
This approach represents Her Campus work as volunteer leadership and creative contribution, which is especially valuable for students who want to frame their chapter involvement as community-focused.
