I have developed many leadership skills that I would have never obtained if it wasn't for Her Campus,” shares Amanda Kowalski, Her Campus Editor-in-Chief. “ I love that it gives women in college the opportunity to empower other college women and gain real life work experience. I look forward to sharing some of the fun recruitment events we brainstormed this summer!”
