Hi, I’m Esme, Vice-President of the Her Campus Society!
Her Campus is a unique, global organisation, founded by and for female students. As changemakers, we want to continue its legacy in empowering and celebrating the incredible women of the University of Exeter. Her Campus at Exeter is not just a local initiative; it is part of a global network that unites women across the world. By contributing to this legacy, we are helping to shape a generation of confident, ambitious, and supportive women who uplift one another.
Meeting friends for life
Reflecting on my first year at university, I realise almost all of my favourite memories were instigated by one butterfly effect event: Her Campus’ ‘Pink Drinks’ social. Here, dressed head to toe in my favourite colour, in the very first week of my first year of university, I met some of my closest friends and the people I’m living with now. Admittedly, I was nervous; starting university in a new city and knowing no one, I wasn't sure what to expect. But as soon as I entered the room I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly conversations. That moment I knew I'd found something special. I feel so lucky to have met such wonderful, like-minded people and I have Her Campus to thank for that.
Taking a leadership role
A year later, as vice-president, I really want to share my amazing experience with other students, ensuring that every member has the opportunity to build friendships, and be a part of a community which empowers women to grow and succeed together.
Learning from different voices and experiences
Whilst we’re united in girlhood, we also want to promote the diversity of Her Campus, and continue to celebrate women with different backgrounds, dreams, and ideas. To truly celebrate diversity, we have been intentional about creating events and content that reflect the variety of voices and experiences within our community. Our events this academic year have ranged from film nights and biscuit decorating, to craft evenings and cocktail parties; because we are a community with something for everyone.
Get involved!
We are passionate that our events should not be exclusive to members, and welcome all women and non-binary people at the University of Exeter. So, whether you’re looking to make new friends, explore your journalistic side, or simply attend fun events, Her Campus has something for you!
