Her Campus publishes content on everything from style and beauty to real world issues that women can relate to. 

Founded by three Harvard students—Stephanie Kaplan Lewis ‘10, Windsor Hanger Western ‘10, and Annie Wang ‘11—Her Campus was a winner in Harvard College’s business plan competition. Since then, chapters of Her Campus has expanded to 330+ campuses in ten countries.

At Her Campus SFU, we pride ourselves as tight-knitted group of likeminded individuals who are passionate about creating meaningful content to college women and beyond. We value collaboration, community and female empowerment.
