LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

Welcome to Her Campus American’s fourth issue of Collegiette! This semester we celebrate womxn. Womxn is defined as people of all genders, not just the people who subscribe to the traditional definition of “women.” “Womxn” represents all people who are affected by issues of misogyny and sexism. Her Campus American is designed to empower womxn’s voices and foster an inclusive space of genuine expression. Our writers and designers worked tirelessly to fashion a remarkable collection of relevant, hard-hitting articles, striking graphic design, and beautiful photography. I am so incredibly proud and grateful to play a small role in cultivating a platform in which our writers and designers can freely express themselves. We hope you draw inspiration from the pieces of identity that come together to highlight our mission. We are extraordinarily proud of this issue and we hope it brings you as much joy as it brings us.

HCXO, Hannah Andress, Editor-in-Chief

We’re so pleased to share with you yet another issue of Her Campus American’s magazine, Collegiette! Inside this issue you will find a range of light-hearted opinion pieces and well-researched articles that speak to Her Campus American’s mission of womxn empowerment, validation, and inclusivity. Whether it explores the state of education, teaches the art of songwriting, educates about gender bias, or otherwise, each article is a must-read that challenges the mainstream perspective. Our writers and designers worked tirelessly amid a global pandemic to create this powerful collection of writings and exceptionally designed magazine. I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to work with such remarkable womxn. We are extremely proud of this issue of Collegiette, and we hope that it empowers, inspires, and brings awareness to relevant realities in womxn’s lives everywhere.

HCXO, Maggie Schutte, Publishing Director
