Mission statement for the ACS Editorial Project
The ACS Editorials Project aims to organize students to communicate progressive ideals by writing editorials in their local newspapers.

In addition, the Editorials Project hopes to engage the student writers in public policy, allow them to articulate their own views, and become more involved in their communities.
Mission Statement of ACS
