OPINION
HOW TO SUBMIT
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, like any newspaper, The Daily Campus is not obligated to respond to or publish any submission, we do our best to respond to each communication from community members despite often overwhelming volume. If we cannot publish your writing, we will explain our rationale or work with you to improve the submission if possible.
A full list of up-to-date opinion section standards for all articles can be found at this link.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
