Cornell College does not endorse any candidate seeking elected office or any political party. The college does support critical thinking and analysis of political candidates by its students, faculty, and staff, and encourages them to become civically engaged in the American democratic process. Cornell College, a vibrant liberal arts college in Mount Vernon, Iowa, seeks to educate its students and community about the 2008 U.S. Presidential election process. Cornell’s mission is to sustain “a community devoted to liberal learning and democratic values,” and to that end, the college encourages student participation in the state of Iowa’s first-in-the-nation Presidential Caucuses. Throughout the election season, Cornell College will invite all candidates for the Presidency of the United States of America to visit the historic Hilltop campus.
