• By receiving the CPJ at home, you can keep up to date with what issues are important to Evergreen students.

The CPJ is very different from other college newspapers.

Any and every student can contribute content (an opinion piece, a comic, a news story, a photo, etc.) and the CPJ staff compiles it into a newspaper each week.

Again, very different but truly representative of students.

The CPJ is published Thursdays during Fall, Winter and Spring quarters.

Your subscription helps fund learning oprotunities for students.
