2012 Feb 20

Nicole Potter of Monmouth was named Royal Purple editor-in-chief by the Cornell College Media Board.

Media Board meets at least monthly to monitor, guide and advise the student media heads. Media Board is in charge of hiring and (if necessary) firing of media heads and business managers. Media Board must also give approval to major funding requests from the media to Student Senate. The meetings led by the student vice-chair (elected from the student membership) and are informal but voting procedures follow Roberts Rules of Order.

Members are the editors-in-chief of The Cornellian and the Royal Purple, the KRNL general manager, the three student media business managers, Student Senate president, one faculty rep, one business office rep, and one division of student affairs rep. Consulting are the three faculty or staff advisors to the three media. The director of college communications is chair.

One of the 40 "Colleges That Change Lives," Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, is a national liberal arts college with a distinctive One Course At A Time (OCAAT) academic calendar. The OCAAT schedule provides students with intellectual immersion, academic focus, and unique freedom to shed the confines of the traditional classroom to study off-campus, pursue research, or accept an internship-all without missing out on other classes. Founded in 1853, the college's entire hilltop campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
