The Concordiensis, unofficially known as the Concordy, is the student newspaper of Union College. Established in 1877, the Concordiensis is the thirteenth oldest college newspaper in the United States and the oldest continually published newspaper in the city of Schenectady.

We publish every Thursday during the academic year except for those Thursdays falling on the first and last weeks of the term. We also produce thematic editions such as the first-year magazine Fresh, the April Fool’s Discordiensis and the 2011 Idea Issue. Copies are distributed in College Park Hall, Reamer Campus Center, West Dining Hall, Wold Center, Schaffer Library, Olin Center and every Minerva house. Our issues are archived in the Special Collections section of Schaffer Library.

Letters can be sent to concordy@gmail.com, oped@concordy.com or to our campus mailbox, and must be received by 5 p.m. on Sunday to be included in that week’s issue. For verification, all submissions must include a name and contact information. We will not print anonymous submissions. We reserve the right to edit for space, grammar, clarity and content.

We welcome any and all students interested in reporting, copyediting, photography, graphic design or business. Contact us at concordy@gmail.com or email the appropriate section editor to find out more.
