Windsor Hanger Western

Her Campus Media founders Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, Annie Wang, and Windsor Hanger Western met as Harvard undergrads while running a student publication for women on campus. The publication soared in popularity with college women across the country, who began asking for advice on starting something like it at their own schools. Stephanie, Annie, and Windsor had the idea to build something similar on a national level to serve college women everywhere, and in 2009 they won Harvard's business plan competition with their vision for Her Campus Media. They've been building the company into the number one media portfolio for college women ever since, and Her Campus Media remains 100% women-owned-and-operated today. We reach this audience better than anyone else across our brands Her Campus, Spoon University, College Fashionista, InfluenceHer Collective, and Generation Hired, digitally and through our network of thousands of campuses and tens of thousands of influencers and ambassadors. Serving and empowering the next generation is at the core of everything we do, and we are proud to have launched our community members into prestigious jobs and internships all throughout the media and marketing industries and beyond. Our work has been recognized broadly, and we are proud to be named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies for 2021.
