Sam Froum, Assistant A&E Editor

Hi, I’m Sam Froum (he/him). I am a sophomore, and the Assistant Editor for A&E. This is my second year on staff, last year I was a staff writer. I write for the Evanstonian because it enables me to become a better writer as well as to help make something that the whole school can see. In addition to the Evanstonian, I run cross country and track and am a part of the Community Service Club. In my free time I like to draw, read, and watch TV.
