Her Campus Society: Senior Editor

Hi everyone! I’m Anshika, I’m passionate about all things art and music, and needless to say – I encompass a love for words. I discovered HerCampus [annoyingly!] recently and have truly fallen in love with the niche it educed for me. But that of course, is not reason enough to convince you of why I should get your vote! So here’s a summary of my two predominant visions:

1. I want to encourage inclusivity. In today’s age of social media, there is power held by everyone’s pen - the power to heal, to hurt, and to hinder. However, voices often get lost in translation. Thus, I wish to allow international studentsthe opportunity to explore their voice in their native language. 
2. I am determined to facilitate in-person socials. I know, sounds cliche - but to think of how fulfilling it’d be to take trips to poetry cafes and bookshop crawls, and to hog ice cream and fudge cakes during movie nights, doesn’t it sound exciting? A chance to truly get to know your team outside of the magazine.

Lastly, I hope it goes without saying that I will continue to uphold everything that this committee already is and already does. I understand the trust placed in my pen to shape final version of some of the most intimate pieces submitted to us, and will do everything in my power to bring the best version of your words to life. And, I will unwaveringly lend you the brush to paint grey in a world blinded by the innate colours of black and white (dramatic, I know!).

Hi! I’m Jennifer, running for Her Campus Senior Editor. As editor this year, I’ve read insightful, nuanced articles that push the boundaries of societal and gender norms. This is exactly what I love about Her Campus and what I strive to do both professionally and in my personal life. It is always a work in progress. Her Campus members foster a real sense of sisterhood and companionship while placing young women’s voices at the forefront. I plan on continuing this while also: 

Enabling the society’s growth by ensuring the efficiency, fluidity and enjoyability of the writing and editing process

Ensuring the fluid communication between editorial and marketing, which is major to promote the society’s events and activities so that everyone feels involved

Depending on government guidelines next term, I’d promote in-person activities and community-building events

As a comparative literature student currently on my year abroad, I am skilled at managing my time. Through my work experience at an events company, I’ve organised events, articles and created blogs and social media content as a volunteer content creator for What Can We Do? in 2020. I am therefore experienced in editing, writing and content creation, managing various responsibilities at the same time while remaining attentive to others‘ needs and opinions. I’d love to help Her Campus grow and continue being a place of creativity and foster a real sense of community.
