We are not experts, but we are all here to learn.
We are here to build community.
We want to celebrate our allies, and to be allies to other groups and people, and to build solidarity with other student groups and movements.
We want to take the time to honor our ancestors, parents, and those who came before us.
We want to take the time to recognize and study colonization in Asia and the Pacific Islands and decolonize our own minds.
We are here to celebrate our cultures, including the cultures we reclaim and create today.

We will provide tools and seeds for your success, both literally and metaphorically.

The Cooper Point Journal

CAB 332

x6213

Cooper Point Journal organization members commit their efforts to two primary purposes: compiling submissions from students at large to create a newspaper that focuses on and reflects the student citizens of The Evergreen State College and examines how matters, particularly within the college, affect and involve students. The newspaper - also named Cooper Point Journal - serves as a medium for informing and entertaining students and as a forum for the ideas and opinions of students and others.

Cooper Point Journal members also commit themselves to providing a learning laboratory for effective, responsible expression and communication, whether the expression of communication is in the newspaper, with an individual or within a group. This includes the discipline of journalism and is in keeping with the responsibilities that accompany the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and the Freedom of Speech article of the Constitution of the State of Washington.

The learning laboratory aspect of the CPJ organization manifests itself by developing and maintaining effective and responsible managing of operations and finances of an endeavor (newspaper) organization, as well as dealing with such life challenges as organizing efforts to develop and maintain an inclusive organization, establishing a group culture of inclusive and responsible decision making, personal and collective accountability, leadership that focuses of fulfilling organization goals and objectives by fostering an environment of consensus and cooperation rather than focusing on teh decision-making authority and responsibilities of leadership, confronting injustice and discrimination.
