Her Campus Media

This week Her Campus Media co-founders Stephanie Kaplan Lewis and Annie Wang took the stage at the WordPress VIP Summit in Tulum to share HCM’s journey from a dorm room startup to the ultimate community-powered Gen Z media and marketing ecosystem. They discussed how we've expanded the HCM portfolio and scaled content creation and community, all while staying true to our mission of serving and unlocking opportunities for the next generation.

Meet the recipients of the first-ever CVS Pharmacy "Make Your Mark Scholarship," honoring college students committed to giving back and creating lasting change in their communities. From advocating for victims of domestic violence to creating welcoming spaces for first-generation college students, this year's recipients are making a lasting impact in their communities. Everyone has the power to make a difference, and we are proud to partner with clients who empower the next generation of change-makers. https://lnkd.in/dxX_UBsS #Client
