Interested in writing an Op-Ed?
The Op-Ed section of The Tufts Daily, an open forum for campus editorial commentary, is printed Monday through Thursday. Submissions are welcome from all members of the Tufts community.
We accept opinion articles on any aspect of campus life, as well as articles on national or international news.
Op-ed pieces should be 800-1,200 words. Please send submissions to oped@tuftsdaily.com in the form of a .doc or .docx file no later than 1 p.m. on the day prior to the desired date of publication.
