Help us See the World: HC Southern Miss to Contiki!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Southern Miss chapter.


Running an online magazine is a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth it! Since starting the organizational process of building the branch in November of last year, I’ve watched our efforts make Her Campus Southern Miss a wonderful outlet for college women at Southern Miss. Both the readers and the constructors of the articles get a unique outlook on the college experience. The hardworking team of writers, bloggers, designers, photographers, social media whizzes, and public relations gurus have the opportunity to gain beneficial career experience while doing what they love and having a supportive team.

Her Campus and Contiki have partnered to reward us for our hard work with an opportunity of a lifetime! The Campus Correspondent/Editor, Crystal Garner, and the Editorial Director, Mallory Hatten, will compete together against other Her Campus branches for an expense paid Contiki Tour! We’re competing against many other Her Campus branches, and we really need your support. All you have to do is vote once everyday to send us on a Contiki tour! Vote here! Vote everyday from April 19, 2012 – April 29, 2012.
