About the Cornell American

The Cornell American is an independent journal of conservative principle at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It is published by Cornell American Inc., a non-profit corporation under New York State law and section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is registered under The Cornell Literary Society with the Student Activities Office of Cornell University.

Founded in January 1992, its mission is to "raise a traditional American perspective, so as to balance debate on campus and to further conservative ideals." The opinions presented in the Cornell American are solely those of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the advertisers or persons listed as staff.

The Cornell American is distributed free on campus, limited to one issue per person, to members of the Cornell Community; as well as selected locations throughout Tompkins County. Additional copies, beyond the first free issue, are available for one dollar each. The American is supported through advertising, individual donations, and partial funding from the Student Assembly Finance Commission. For advertising rates, subscriptions, reprint permission, and other information, the American can be contacted at the addresses below.

The Cornell American meets every Monday at 5:00 PM, 127 Rockefeller and is always looking for new members. E-mail may be sent to cornellamerican@cornell.edu.
