General Information
The Counterweight is a conservative student publication at the University of Minnesota Morris. It was founded in March 2005 by UMM students, and continues to publish monthly. In addition to its monthly magazine, The Counterweight is an active student organization on campus. The group hosts events and speakers on campus throughout the year.
The Counterweight's mission is threefold:
EXPOSE: The Counterweight will strive to expose the campus community to different perspectives on current events and issues important to students. Our hope is to present new angles on new and old issues and to encourage diversity of thought on campus.
EDUCATE: The Counterweight will facilitate opportunities for any interested students to get involved. Student staff members will develop leadership, journalistic skills, and business skills by writing, producing, and distributing our monthly publication.
EXPRESS: The Counterweight will allow for freedom of speech to express the ideas of students. Our intention is to encourage this expression through feature stories, editorials, satirical pieces, and many other means, including of course letters to the editor from readers like you.
