Section Meetings
The Daily Campus provides a number of ways for UConn students to get involved. We have four content written sections News, Life, Sports, Opinion. If you're not interested in writing, we also have a photo, and art sections. Any student can join a section by attending a meeting or getting in contact with an editor. We also offer roles within our production and circulation staff.
How to get involved
Meetings for each section will take place on Sundays. All section meetings happen at The Daily Campus building (located behind Buckley Residence Hall and Moe's). Please enter the building via the loading dock in the back of the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to apply to join The Daily Campus?
No application is required. You are welcome to attend our meetings at your convenience.
I want to participate in photo or video, but I don’t have my own camera.
The Daily Campus has a collection of photo and video equipment available for rental. We encourage all interested individuals to utilize these resources for event coverage.
I want to write for The Daily Campus, but I’m not good at writing/I’m not a journalism major/I’ve never written before.
Your background does not matter and should not stop you from joining us. Many of our most talented writers come from diverse fields. We strongly encourage participation from those outside the journalism discipline.
I’m interested in design/copy editing/digital/photo producing.
Hiring for these positions typically occurs at the end of each semester or during winter break. If you are interested in these roles, please remain attentive to announcements regarding openings towards the semester's end. Involvement in a specific section will help keep you informed about hiring, as will following us on social media and monitoring JobX. Copy editing and design inquiries should be directed to our Managing Editor and digital production questions can be addressed to our Digital Editor.
I’m interested in being a delivery driver.
We generally also hire for drivers at the end of the semester or during break. Delivery driver hires are handled by our Business Manager and Circulation Manager.
I like creative writing. Does The Daily Campus ever publish fiction?
We unfortunately don’t, but there are a number of great publications on campus who do (e.g. our friends at Long River Review, Poetic Release, Literary Minds, and the Free Press).
I’m a branch campus student / distant commuter who can’t easily attend meetings on Sunday evenings.
You are still encouraged to get involved. You will be considered for staff and leadership positions, even if you cannot attend in-person meetings.Please coordinate directly with the relevant section regarding their procedures for virtual participation. Should you encounter any difficulties with accommodations, do not hesitate to contact eic@dailycampus.com
