Mission Statement

The Hillsdale Forum is an independent, student-run conservative magazine at Hillsdale College. The Forum, in support of the mission statement of the college, exists to foster a campus environment open to true liberal education and human flourishing. We publish opinions, interviews, papers, and campus news. The Forum is a vehicle to bring the discussion and thought of the students and professors at the heart of our school beyond the classroom, because “if a practical end must be assigned to a University course, it is that of training good members of society.” The Forum brings the learning of the classroom into the political reality of campus.
