COMPANY: Spoon University 

DESCRIPTION: 

Spoon University is an online food & lifestyle publication written by college students from around the world. As a brand of Her Campus Media, Spoon is the go-to resource for Genzennial foodies and alumni. 


I am an active member of [Insert school]’s Spoon chapter, where I attend meetings and campus events, collaborate with other members, and spotlight our local food community.


As Editorial Director of my chapter, I oversee a team of 20 members, publish and edit five articles per week, and assist the Marketing Director in planning events and restaurant partnerships. I have also participated in writing and leadership training from Spoon HQ through their premier software platform, Secret Sauce. 


#SpoonTip: Under the "Media" section, include a link to your Spoon University profile.
