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.

Giant Clam Improv Collective’s mission is to create a safer, braver space for Greeners to collaborate with one another in the style of improvisation!

Improv is a ritual and experiment that allows us to connect with our sense of play, activate flow states, commit to the moment and liberate our truest potentials. This work is only successful if we support each other, our work is not possible without the collective.

As a collective, we strive to work together to make Giant Clam possible; there are opportunities to pitch in on ideas and leadership if desired, or to just show up occasionally and participate. Our practices make space to meet new people, laugh about ridiculous scenarios, be serious as needed, propose ideas, and create on the spot! Giant Clam is open to all; those who have done theater or improv, those who haven’t, and those who create across all mediums.

Improv is about the process, not the final result, therefore this club focuses on having fun rather than the technicalities of “being good at improv”. If being a part of a fun-loving community of collaborating artists sounds like a good time to you, then Giant Clam Improv Collective is right up your alley!

Weekly Meeting:
Sundays, 4 - 6 pm in SEM 2 E1105

Once selected, students will be published in our journal with full copyright ownership of their work belonging to them.
