We all know someone we compare to a superhero. Rarely do we find anyone with the official title. But Amanda Bauman, ’05, received just that when she was named “Super Woman” by South Jersey Magazine. Being a Super Woman is no easy task. But for Bauman, who has it all under control, it is well- deserved.

For the past 12 years, Bauman has served as the Senior Manager of CommunityAffairs at Campbell’s Soup Company where she implements community affairs strategy and employee engagement initiatives. This includes developing outreach projects between Campbell’s and the city of Camden, leading Campbell’s employee volunteer program, Nourishing Our Neighbors, managing Campbell’s employee giving campaign throughout 15 locations across the country, and handling the Campbell’s Soup Foundation.

This might sound to some like nothing short of an impossible juggling act. But like any true super woman, Bauman gets it all done with grace and a heart of gratitude.

“We do a lot of work around creating a healthy community by working with nonprofits and food banks on building a food economy. That covers everything from providing nutrition education, to supporting community agriculture to improving healthy food selections at corner stores. I’m very proud of what we’ve been able to achieve so far.”

Bauman’s drive to serve can be traced back to her days at La Salle. As a communication major, Bauman was involved with La  Salle TV and The Collegian. She also served as president of the PR Club at the time. It was also during this time, Bauman organized a service trip through University Ministry and Service called “Week of Hope.”

Bauman’s unshakable spirit of hope and generosity matured into successful career and earned her the cape of a true super woman.

“I am really lucky to have a job that I love,” Bauman said. “I’m so grateful that I get to wake up every day and do work that has an impact.”
