Mission

Campus BluePrint is a non-partisan student publication at UNC-Chapel Hill.  Although founded as a committee of UNC Young Democrats, it is now an independent organization that aims to offer a forum for open dialogue on progressive ideals at UNC-Chapel Hill and in the greater community.
The emphasis for the Campus BluePrint student organization is to produce a publication that will cover political, cultural, and social news as well as publish pertinent opinion columns that will promote discussion about progressive ideals.

History

Campus BluePrint was founded by a small group of Young Democrats members in the spring of 2009 to support the progressive voice on campus in the wake of the 2008 presidential election. We have since grown to become one of the largest magazines at UNC. We cover university, local, state, national and world politics, as well as other topics that support liberal values, such as profiles of local services organizations, book and movie reviews, travel retrospectives, and musings on social justice.

Published with support from Campus Progress, a division of the Center for American Progress. Online at CampusProgress.org. Paid also in part by UNC Student Congress.
