Beginning as a collaboration between the NYU Shanghai Writing Department and students of NYU Shanghai’s Inaugural Class, On Century Avenue has bloomed into a thriving weekly student publication that is written, staffed, and managed entirely by students. With an interest in editorial, visual, and literary works, On Century Avenue serves not only as a news source, but also as a platform for students to publish opinions and personal works. Though rooted within NYU Shanghai, On Century Avenue serves a bigger audience with its focus on the Global Network University and the vibrant city of Shanghai.
Opinions expressed in On Century Avenue are held solely by those who have written them. They should not be misconstrued as the opinions of On Century Avenue.
