Meet the E-Board: President & Campus Correspondent

Jessica Harrington

Year: Senior (December 2017)

Major/Minor: Journalism/Psychology

Hometown: Pittsgrove, NJ

Hobbies: Working out, snowboarding, blogging, traveling, dancing and shopping. I’m really big on being outdoors. I love kayaking, camping, hiking, going on road trips and things like that. 

Hofstra Activities: Outside of Her Campus, I’m the Editorial Director for Spoon University at Hofstra, a student editor at the Long Island Report, an RA on campus, and a member of Ed2010 and NRHH. 

Coolest Thing You’ve Ever Done: One day, I spontaneously booked a Groupon with my two best friends to Ireland. We went this past January over Winter Break and it was by far the coolest, most amazing trip I’ve ever been on.  

Fun Fact: I’ve been a vegetarian for over ten years now! I’m a major animal and nature lover. My favorite animal is a bison, which I know is odd, but I saw them wild in South Dakota and have loved them ever since.  

Favorite thing about HC: Her Campus has given me so many great opportunities over my college years. It is such a cool publication that gives every college girl a voice. I’ve been introduced to a network of so many AMAZING women, both at Hofstra and beyond.
