Here at The Daily Pennsylvanian, we remain committed to platforming a broad range of voices throughout the Penn community. For that reason, we are beyond excited to announce our newly recruited class of opinion writers. This new slate of staffers will be publishing stories once every few weeks on a wide variety of crucial subjects that impact our student body, our surrounding community, and beyond.

Each columnist focuses on a specific personal brand that interacts with their experiences at Penn, their interests, and their worldview. In addition to these new voices and our pieces by guest columnists, you can expect your favorite columnists to continue their contributions to the DP. We look forward to another semester of publishing deeply insightful commentary and starting important conversations on Penn’s campus.
