Interested in submitting in an op-ed or guest column with us?
As part of The Panther’s effort to serve as Chapman’s town square, we welcome opinions from all corners of the political spectrum. We encourage submissions from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences and identities. Op-eds or guest columns must be no longer than 600 words and sent in a Google document or Word document to the Opinions Editor, Riley Wood, at riwood@chapman.edu.
Columns must have a clear point of view with strong arguments backed by facts and evidence. Not every submission is guaranteed to be published, and submissions are subject to editing for clarity, grammar and style. Opinion pieces reflect those of the author, and do not represent The Panther or its staff.

Humans have a tendency to fear what they don’t know. The most important thing we can do is listen.
Opinion | Rate My Professor gets five stars from me
Rate My Professors tends to get a bad rap from professors, but the site that professors love to hate is probably more accurate than they think.
Opinion | Walk the walk after Walk Against Violence
It’s important that if you see something, you say something. It sounds cliche, but we all have the power to make Chapman a safer campus.
Opinion | Students care about Orange, too
I know the Orange community still has reservations about us, and I get that. But Chapman students are more than the leftover beer bottles on your front lawn six months ago.
