Newhouse student Christen Brandt met Tibbetts at the 2007 MATRIX Awards, and they remained in contact. When Brandt learned about Tibbetts’ vision for She’s the First, they teamed up, and Brandt brought fellow Newhouse students Rachel Datello and Chelsea Orcutt on board as well. They are working with Tibbetts to pilot the program at Syracuse University, and eventually develop an action plan for women from other colleges and universities to use when implementing She’s the First on their campuses. Brandt, a junior magazine journalism major, serves as director of She’s the First, working closely with Tibbetts to edit all the organization’s materials and oversee brand marketing. “All the schools face the same problems when it comes to educating girls,” Brandt says. “In many cultures, it is the girl’s job to do the farming and take care of the home. By providing girls the means to attend school, there is no financial burden on the family. Ultimately, the family is much more likely to allow the girl to get an education—an education that will break the cycle, as an educated woman is more likely to educate her own daughters.” Orcutt, a first-year student in public relations, serves as campus outreach coordinator for She’s the First in Syracuse. Orcutt is responsible for establishing relationships with campus organizations to help promote She’s the First and get college women involved. 19
