CIRCLE (Creating Indigenous Resistance through Culture, Language, and Education) is at the intersection of talk and action.  Through language revitalization, cultural education, and activism our club seeks to decolonize our academic environment.  We follow the hearts and minds of our members, our elders, and our ancestors to guide us into Indigenous language study, Oral Tradition archiving, and advocacy for issues effecting Native students and communities.  We reach across all lines to create a unified voice for those seeking a space to nurture their passions and intelligence through Indigeneity

Chibi Chibi Con is an Evergreen club and event that focuses on Japanese animation and manga and the culture that surrounds it. Our mission is to invite students and community members who are active and fans of anime, manga, and cosplay to come help us plan, run, and attend an anime convention run on the Evergreen campus! (Or over the internet while Covid sticks around!) We also have opportunities to table with us at other conventions and collaborate with industry professionals and other convention enthusiasts.

If you're an artist, video creator, theatre kid, or just want to meet new people and watch anime we hope you stop by and let us get to know you!

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.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 the decision-making authority and responsibilities of leadership, confronting injustice and discrimination.

The Evergreen Classic Club was created to foster an extracurricular interest for and discussion about the ancient Mediterranean world. We aim to make our members excited about the Classics and provide an area for people to come together and freely participate in scholarly discourse of ancient events, texts, and arts, as well as share creative works inspired by the Classical world. The goal is to make this a more fun and loose experience than a classroom environment for those that enjoy the Classics. No prior knowledge of the ancient world is necessary and everyone is welcome to join and learn.

Students have the power to shape the future we will inherit. We work with professional staff at colleges and universities to make sure our peers have the skills, opportunities and training they need to create a better, more sustainable future for all of us. Our chapters provide the training, professional support and resources students need to tackle climate change, protect public health, revitalize our democracy, feed the hungry and more. Students have been at the forefront of social change throughout history, from civil rights, to voting rights to protecting the environment. For nearly 50 years we’ve helped students to get organized, mobilized and energized so they can continue to be on the cutting edge of positive change.
