Introducing Ricochet's College Feed!

It’s never been fashionable to hold right-of-center political convictions on most college campuses. In fact, academia is often downright hostile to conservative thought. Which is where Ricochet’s College Feed comes in. The purpose of the College Feed is threefold:
- To provide a meeting place where right-of-center college students can connect with others who share similar political outlooks and world views
- To create a space in which young conservatives can discuss the issues that are important to them, from life on campus to the most pressing geopolitical matters of our time
- To offer up unique insight to our general Membership into how the upcoming generation of conservatives approaches politics
We’re launching the College Feed with a roster of 17 College Contributors. Free College Memberships are available to every student pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies. College Memberships are available by invitation-only right now; only those students invited by a College Contributor or College Member will be able to register. We will open up Membership to anyone with a .edu e-mail address in the future.

I stayed up several nights to get the new College Feed built and launched, but I know there are still glitches. If you find any, please let us know by emailing support@ricochet.com and we'll address them as soon as possible.
Enjoy!

Ok, so how do you go about getting an invite for a college membership? I've been a standard member for a while, but wouldn't mind taking advantage of the new offer.

What an excellent idea. I'm looking forward to reading the wit and wisdom of our best and brightest newer generation.

I'm not sure if this applies to red state universities, or the computer science and engineering tracks at least. All my friends at Northern Arizona University were libertarians, for example.

Kofola, College Members do not have access to the Member Feed nor to premium podcasts. However, if you'd still like to make the change, I will switch your account in our system. I've sent you an e-mail explaining this process in slightly more detail.

" Free College Memberships are available to every student pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies."
You are just enabling the perpetual student who keeps pressing the snooze button on real life by staying in school. On the hand those types tend to be leftists, so maybe not.

So I get internet back and there's a whole new section of Ricochet! My daughter is 16, in a boarding school in New England, and about to take over as president of the school's Libertarian Club. She'll still access Ricochet over my shoulder, but when she gets to dot edu I bet she'll join.
