The Campus Greens

We believe in the empowerment of all citizens, through action within one's own life, as well as the surrounding community. We support inclusion, reciprocity, and the speaking of one's own mind. We firmly support the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the separation between State and Religion, the eradication of private and corporate business influence within government, and the concept that no one is above the law.  Contact Curt Collins at CC47140@wcu.edu.

Offering students a radical alternative to the two-party system, the Vanguard spreads its message through public forums and other activities open to all students and the surrounding community. Contact Nathan Roberto at NR39229@wcu.edu.
