On Point Magazine brings fashion advice to campus
By Peter Gagnon
For those of you who do not already know High Point University has an on campus fashion magazine! For anyone with a vision for greatness, this was only an idea in the beginning, that turned into a masterpiece, a true work of art.
It was in their freshman year that Haley Bossart and Caroline Bogrette had their vision for creating On Point. Haley being a communications major and Haley being very interested in Journalism made them the perfect dynamic duo for this! After visiting the campus activities fair in 2016, they both realized that there wasn’t anything that stuck out as something they would want to peruse. By combining their passion for fashion and lifestyle design, On Point Magazine was born.
By reaching out through social media, the co-founders received lots of outreach from individuals looking to be a part of their magazines team. After a strenuous interview process, Haley and Caroline found their team of twelve talented individuals to run the paper. Each team member has a task to complete, all coming together to combine design ideas on topics such as lifestyle, fashion and wellness. Even though the magazine is primarily digital, they offer the option for a hard copy print.
The sole purpose for On Point was to inspire those around us, on campus and around the world. When someone copy’s another’s work, it is the finest form of flattery, therefore Haley and Caroline want their ideas to come alive through the students here at High Point University. Seeing their ideas come to life in others’ lives is what they are proud of.
Although On Point is not currently looking for writers for their magazine, they are looking for writers for their website. The purpose of the website is to continue having content published even when if the magazine doesn’t have a new issue out. The two go hand in hand, however the magazine is seasonal whereas the blog remains daily.

It started as a process of trial & error and from there we created seasonal digital magazines. Our team puts our hearts and souls into inspiring others & reaching out to the greater community.
