The Cornerstone magazine

Welcome

The Cornerstone is an attempt to draw the very diverse liberal arts college together as one - a hope that every student, whether they be a political science major or a language major, can find a common ground and a sense of unity within their college.

So, as you browse through these pages, realize who you are, and of what you are a part. Search for that comraderie and solidarity that is woven so tightly into who we are as Aggies.

Sincerely,

Jessica Smith
