The Opinion section welcomes submissions from all undergraduate UConn students. Those interested in writing for Opinion can come to a meeting on Sundays at 5 PM in The Daily Campus building or email opinion@dailycampus.com.
While all community members are welcome to submit their work, The Daily Campus is not obligated to respond to or publish any submission. Due to the volume of community engagement, we will not respond to submissions that are not in line with our editorial guidelines. A full list of up-to-date opinion section standards for all articles can be found at this link.
Op-eds are a specific type of submission to the Daily Campus Opinion Section. Op-Eds often advocate on behalf of an organization and discuss important topics of interest. They can be written by the following groups:
To have an Op-Ed written in The Daily Campus, please follow the guidelines listed below:
Culture Shock is a column for underrepresented and marginalized UConn students to anonymously discuss their stories and experiences as members of those groups at UConn. This includes, but is not limited to: students of color, women, persons with disabilities and the LGBTQIA+ community. Culture Shock was created in collaboration with UConn Collaborative Organizing (UCCO) and the NAACP UConn Chapter.
Entries can take many forms, such as written columns, artwork or poetry. If you do write something, keep it between 400-500 words. Submit pieces here and email any artwork to opinion@dailycampus.com. This column is not a call-out space — it is an anonymous forum for UConn students to share their experiences on campus. Any identifying information — such as names or apartment numbers — will be edited out. We will do our best to publish all articles that are submitted within a week, but we do retain the right to send articles back for edits if they do not meet our editorial standards of professionalism and respect. We only ask for your name and email address to confirm that you are a UConn student. Your personal information will not be shared in any way, shape or form.
Letters to the Editor are written in response to a previous publication in The Daily Campus. Anyone can submit a Letter to the Editor. Please note: responses to Op-Eds will be classified and submitted as Op-Eds, not Letters to the Editor.
To have a letter printed in The Daily Campus, please follow the guidelines listed below:
Disclaimer: We reserve the right to delay or deny publication of a Letter to the Editor or Op-Ed if we do not believe it is appropriate for the Opinion Section, if we believe it contains hateful ideas or language, or if it is disrespectful of anyone’s identity or culture
