Profile:
Alex Blum works for The Quest as a news editor, reporter, columnist, editor in charge of training new writers, and just about anything else you can think of. He originated the Cool Thesis of the Week column, which he wrote for two and a half semesters, along with writing news and guiding reporters in their stories. He currently covers Student Body Senate and anything else that comes his way, and he will soon begin covering faculty meetings. He has also worked as a reporting intern for the Portland Tribune and the Clackamas Review/Oregon City News, where he covered politics, business, and general Metro news. A political science major, he plans to start work on a thesis about either Mexican politics or American city-level politics next semester. He loves dogs, pool, and the USA, and he keeps a secret stash of Oreos hidden somewhere in the Quest office. Follow Alex on Twitter: @AlexCBlum
