Rouge Executive Board Profiles: Kate Mazza
“I am happy to have found a club that lets me not only do the things I know I love to do, but also experience so many other roles I had no idea I would also enjoy!”
Fashion and clothing have always been something that made Kate, a 4th year Management major with an Entrepreneurship Certificate, excited so when she saw the opportunity to offer some of her skill set to the magazine, it seemed perfect. She is now the Assistant Digital Content Editor which means she mainly does the graphics for social media and promotional designs but there are “no bounds to what you can do in this club and I was able to help make the shirts for the exec team this year!,” said Kate.
Kate believes that Rouge has given her the opportunity to meet and work with amazing people from all over campus.
“Many of those who dedicate their time to Rouge aren’t doing it for a resume booster or [as] something to list off on their LinkedIn— it is because they genuinely care about the creative spirit of the magazine and appreciate the work we are all creating together!,” said Kate.
She hopes that every Rouge member has the opportunity to get involved with something that they are interested in.
“I truly believe that so much can be explored through extracurriculars that isn’t provided in your everyday classes,” said Kate, who believes that at Rouge, you are learning real life skills and working to create a top-notch magazine.
One of the things that Kate has learned from Rouge is that it really does take a village: “This magazine requires such hard work from so many amazingly talented people. I am floored at the amount of passion that goes into each issue!”

Q: Beauty Staple?
A: Becca Highlighter— Champagne Pop if you want specifics! I have used this highlighter for years now and it’s always nice to just pop a little on your cheek or the corner of your eye to wake you up a little!
