Our mission: Her Campus Texas, a branch of HerCampus.com launched in January 2010, is an online magazine for the college women of UT with features on Campus News, Events, Profiles, Polls, and more! Her Campus Texas is a place for the women of UT to get the latest hook ups on what’s happening when and where around Austin! In 2010, Her Campus Texas won the ‘Highest Traffic’ award for HerCampus.com and in 2011 we won “Best On-Campus Publicity” out of 130+ campus branches. We hope to increase our readership this year and become a cornerstone campus publication.
Being a part of HerCampus.com will help you connect with some big names out there including Seventeen Magazine, SELF Magazine, Huffingtonpost.com, FOX news, among others! We have a content partnership with Huffington Post, so there’s a chance that your story for Her Campus Texas could be featured in Huffington Post’s College section!
