The Evergreen Political Information Center (EPIC) is a student group at The Evergreen State College with a history of radical political activism. The group was formed in 1973 and is one the oldest student groups at the college. EPIC's mission is to create a sustained community of both political education and action. It has always operated on the consensus model. Throughout its existence EPIC has worked to educate the Evergreen and greater Olympia community on a wide range of issues pertaining to social justice. EPIC has also served as a vehicle for the Evergreen students to challenge the school's administration's decisions. EPIC brings a variety of speakers, hosts events, and every year since 1996 EPIC has compiled the Disorientation Manual, a student created guide to Evergreen and Olympia. Various other students groups have branched out of EPIC, including Carnival, the political arts collective, Prison Action Committee, and Students Organizing for Food Autonomy (SOFA).
