The Daily Campus, founded in 1896, is a student-run newspaper at the University of Connecticut.[1] The weekday paper services the main campus of UConn and Storrs-Mansfield, Connecticut community with circulation during the school term.
Since its creation, the newspaper has undergone several name changes, having started as The Storrs Agricultural College Lookout, a monthly, when it published its first issue on May 11, 1896.[2] The name was changed to The Connecticut Campus in 1915, followed by The Connecticut Daily Campus, and then finally The Daily Campus in 1984. It began publishing five days a week during the academic year in 1952 and became a morning paper in 1955.
The newspaper's offices are located in an outparcel building on the outskirts of the main campus near the "Downtown Storrs" area, at the corner of 11 Dog Lane and 1266 Storrs Road (Connecticut Route 195). The paper was previously located across campus at 121 North Eagleville Road, but moved to the current location in 1992. The building lies adjacent to John Buckley Residence Hall.
