About Us

The Green Print was founded as a Cook Campus community newspaper back in the 1970's. Today, we are a SEBS magazine which provides a creative space for students to explore the environment around them through writing, design and photography.

Green Print remains a culmination of the voices and hearts of its writers and photographers. Above all, that indeed is the core of what we stand for: authenticity in the expression of thoughts, stories and ideas.
