This fall will be the first full semester of Opinion columnists, following the pilot last semester. This semester, we are proud to announce six columns, all continued from the spring. Each columnist will publish every other week or every three weeks.
As I wrote last semester when we introduced columns, reading an author’s column should be like getting a peek through their personal lens — consistent voices from different perspectives on similar issues. We hope that you will get to know these voices, as they write informative, timely, and interesting pieces, every few weeks.

In Trump’s America, the national media should learn from student journalists
Eleanor Clemans-Cope“As the next administration begins, national media should follow the example of student journalists and pay closer attention to the situations on each campus, breaking national storyline tropes when they don’t fit.”

Try On theater needs to try something new
Christie Davis“Try On theater admirably tries to address inclusivity. But in order to actually achieve inclusivity, it needs to adapt again.”
