Center for Campus Organizing The Center for Campus Organizing (CCO) was an organization of students, faculty, staff and alumni working to extend the base for peace and justice organizing in the US. CCO introduced students to skills they will need to serve as lifelong community organizers, setting up communications networks, establishing a network of student and faculty/staff campus contacts, and promoting alternative campus media. We pooled the resources of liberal and progressive alumni to counter similar efforts on the right, and to build bridges between younger and older activists. CCO was an outgrowth of the University Conversion Project, a student activism clearinghouse founded out the movement against the Gulf War in 1991. Unfortunately CCO folded in the summer of 2002 and no longer exists.
