Her Campus Society: Vice President

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 students the 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 everyone! I’m Angelica and I’m running for Her Campus Vice President/Campus Correspondent. I’ve truly enjoyed being part of this society, starting as a writer last year and working now as an Editor, and I have particularly loved seeing its growth as a community. I am appreciative of the society’s genuine sense of inclusion and aspire to maintain its already well-established foundations. 

My goals for the year are: 

-In accordance with our mission statement, to ensure that Her Campus continues to promote itself as an empowering and inclusive space, through our produced content and outreach to other students. As a mixed-race woman myself, I wholeheartedly understand that diversity and inclusion are paramount to building our community. 

-To make sure that everyone in the team, from the President to a one-off contributor, feels supported and heard, by delegating tasks fairly and by clear communication. 

-Whether it’s through written collaborations or activities, to maintain existing and also create new, open dialogues with other members, other UCL students/societies, and with the international branches of the magazine. 

As a Comparative Literature student who is currently studying abroad, I have really learnt how to push myself to new limits and value meeting new people from all around the world, while also balancing multiple tasks through the use of my good organisational and open communication skills.
