About The Course of Reason

The Course of Reason was launched in 2010 with three main goals in mind. The first is to highlight the achievements of our student groups by regularly posting articles on their events and activities. The second is to spread knowledge and skills needed to run a freethinking campus group by soliciting articles from successful group leaders on organizational topics like event planning and fundraising. The last is to get students involved and experienced in voicing their opinions on current events and relevant cultural issues.

The viewpoints expressed on The Course of Reason are the viewpoints of the individual blogger only and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of, nor should they be attributed to, CFI or its affiliates, or any of their directors or officers.
