Her Campus
BYLAWS
ARTICLE 1.-NAME.
The name of this organization shall be Her Campus of Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Her
Campus is the largest online international college magazine in the United States. Its demographic
is targeted toward college women, but is accepting of all genders.
ARTICLE 2.- PURPOSE
Her Campus will be a good addition to the existing organizations on campus, to team up with
them and be more involved on campus as a group. It is beneficial because it is a platform for
college students to write and express themselves on all issues and topics. People intersted in
joining will share the same appreciation for writing as we do, as well as have a large social
media presence of themselves. Her Campus will especially benefit those who want careers in the
blogging or magazine industry someday.
Our primary purpose is to give students the opportunity to be a part of something special on
campus, because we do not have anything offered here for careers going into the magazine
industry. Our secondary purpose would be to create relatable articles to publish weekly as a staff
team.
