HPU students contribute to Her Campus website
By Carly Delengowski, Staff Writer //
On Oct. 28, the Her Campus’ High Point University page re-launched with a team of strong college women behind it.
Her Campus is an online magazine that college women can contribute their articles for other students to read and respond to. Each week. the school’s page updates their six sections, which are labeled as feature, blog, campus cutie, campus celebrity, snapshot and events.
The articles range from silly, light-hearted posts filled with gifs and YouTube videos to serious and intriguing topics.
Some of the most popular articles from the October launch were “5 Tips for Organization” by Meg Thomson, “Listen Up Boys!” by Rachael Redmond and “Autumn Fashion Trends” by Mollie McKinley.
High Point’s page received 4,000 views within the first day. Cofounder Grace Beal and is looking forward to a great year ahead of them.
“We cannot wait to see what the future has in store for Her Campus,” said Beal.
In the past, the High Point University page was run by now-alumni Christina Buttafuoco, but has been inactive since 2012.
Members of the current team have worked for Her Campus’ High Point University page before the page went inactive and hoped to re-launch the site someday.
Today, Her Campus is uploading multiple stories per day and countless other schools are starting their own chapters too.
The founders are looking forward to starting Her Campus High Point University as more than just an online magazine, but as a club here on campus to empower young collegiettes. They are currently building up daily content and making efforts to gain a larger audience.
