The Cactus welcomes submissions of opinion articles on any topic for publication in print and online. Submissions must be authored by current CAC students and the required personal information is the same as Letter to the Editor submissions (see above). Articles can be of any length, although between 500 – 750 words is recommended. Submission does not guarantee publication.
