The Orbis is a student-produced publication at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, which provides an outlet for a broad array of progressive, left-wing and minority voices on campus. In addition, Orbis is well known for investigative work that frequently covers topics overlooked or underreported in other campus media. Orbis was founded in 2001 by a group of Vanderbilt students who were motivated by what they perceived as surprisingly large and enthusiastic support on campus for Al Gore's presidential campaign, at what was widely perceived to be a conservative campus. Those students hoped to create an outlet for progressive and left-leaning views, and engaging progressive students in a common forum that would demonstrate the depth of progressive viewpoints on campus. They also hoped to foster an environment that would be more open to Vanderbilt's increasingly diverse student body. More information...
