Her Campus is an online magazine for collegiate women with over 200 chapters at different universities around the world. Her Campus Waterloo is a chapter of Her Campus and was established in 2014. We focus on writing content targeted towards Waterloo students and encourage feminism across campus through our website, social media accounts and events on campus.
