The Daily Orange Opinion section wants to publish your perspective! We’re now accepting personal essay and guest column submissions from members of the Syracuse University and greater Syracuse community.

Unlike opinion columns, personal essays center on your lived experiences both on campus and in the city of Syracuse, as well as the ways in which your identities inform your perspective on a particular topic. Guest columns are your chance to make your voice heard on relevant news, politics and campus events.

Students, faculty and staff at SU and SUNY-ESF, as well as residents of the city of Syracuse, are welcome to submit personal essays and guest columns. Submissions must be at least 300 words and no longer than 800 words. 

If you’d like to submit a personal essay or guest column, please email opinion@dailyorange.com and include your full name, year, and position on campus, if applicable. Please also include a phone number where you can be reached. This will only be used for verification purposes and will not be published.
