The article discusses the establishment of the Women in Photojournalism Club at Penn State by seniors Alex Antoniono and Kate Hildebrand. The club aims to create a supportive community for female and non-binary photographers who often face challenges in the predominantly male field of photojournalism. The organization provides a space for members to connect, learn, and grow, offering mentorship and networking opportunities. The club’s mission is to foster an inclusive environment where students can openly discuss their experiences and challenges, helping them build confidence and succeed both professionally and personally.
The first meeting is set for September 16, and the club will be present at the Bellisario College Involvement Fair on September 9. For more details, they also have an Instagram page.
