The Daily Bruin’s Opinion section is responsible for sharing columnists’ opinions and those of others within the UCLA community. We work on argumentative writing, personal narrative writing and publish sourced pieces to draft informative columns that often include a call to action for our community.

Several of our columnists have won awards for their pieces and series, including the SPJ Awards, CCMA Awards and more!

If you have any questions about the Opinion section, email Sierra Benayon-Abraham at [email protected].
