Stephanie Kaplan (born December 5, 1988) is a co-founder, chief executive officer, and editor-in-chief of Her Campus, an online magazine targeted toward American college women. At Harvard University, Kaplan served as the editor-in-chief of Freeze, Harvard College's lifestyle and fashion online magazine.[1] In 2009, from Freeze, Kaplan and two other Harvard undergraduates launched Her Campus. In 2010, Kaplan obtained her bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in economics from Harvard.

Her Campus

Kaplan met fellow Harvard undergraduates Windsor Hanger and Annie Wang in fall 2007, working on the staff of Freeze magazine. In January 2009, Kaplan, Hanger, and Wang entered Harvard's i3 Innovation Challenge business plan competition with their idea for Her Campus, which proposed a national online magazine for college women, with dedicated branches at colleges and universities across the United States. Their business plan and proposal received the Harvard Student Agencies Investment Award in the i3 Innovation Challenge in March 2009.[2]

Kaplan oversees content and expansion of the magazine to college branches. These partnerships allow Her Campus writers to share their articles with Seventeen magazine and The Huffington Post. Since 2009, Her Campus has expanded to include a membership of over 800[citation needed] individuals with branches at over 100[citation needed] college campuses.[3][4]

Kaplan also serves as the resident college expert on behalf of Her Campus at Fox 25 News in Boston. [5] [6] [7]
