Dear NYU Shanghai community and readers, As the independent student newspaper of NYU Shanghai, On Century Avenue aims to clearly represent the voices of our community and their diverse forms. As an international student body, coming from a variety of countries, cultures, and backgrounds, it is even more important for our community to embrace respectful communication and be open to discussing new ideas, even those that contradict one's own beliefs. Opinions published on OCA do not represent the view of our publication or NYU Shanghai as a whole, only the view of the writer, and as always, we thoughtfully consider article submissions from any member of the NYU Shanghai community. If any student has an idea to share, or wants to write a response to any article published on our website, please email [email protected] to get in touch. As the voice of the community, we hope to foster healthy discussion and mutual respect on both sides of the issue, and encourage members of the community to share their thoughts and experiences with us.

Best, OCA Managing Board
