Opinion is searching for new columnists from diverse backgrounds to write about issues facing the University and Charlottesville communities. The Cavalier Daily is read not only by University students and administrators, but also by local residents, state and national politicians, interest groups and national news media, so the potential for influencing public opinion is high. As a columnist, you will choose an area of interest to cover and write about — politics, University life, and student self governance are all fair game.
