First year staff writer Oskar Grand ’27 loves the outdoors. He enjoys jet skiing and biking with friends. Grand said he is looking forward to Debate Club starting back up this year so he can join and obtain more of a high school experience. He was inspired to go into journalism because of his uncle who works as a journalist for Michigan State University doing legislative work. Grand is excited for how his position on the Tower will benefit his future and current self..

“[My uncle] definitely is part of the reason I wanted to join [The] Tower,” Grand said. “I think what he does is very interesting and I wanted to experience a little of that for myself. That’s why I’m here and I’m excited.”

Another one of Grand’s many interests is traveling. His favorite place to travel is the West Coast. Currently he is planning a trip to Alaska which he said he is very excited about.

“I’ve been pretty much everywhere, that isn’t irrelevant,” Grand said. “California, Florida, Seattle, Washington D.C., and so many other places. I can’t wait to add more places to that list.”
