Ben Hume, Web Editor
Ben Hume is the web editor for The Oakland Post. He is currently a senior at Oakland University double majoring in English and international relations. In his time at The Post, Ben has been a staff reporter for the life section and was promoted to web editor for the 2019-2020 school year. He continued working the position for 2020-2021.
Since joining The Post in 2018, Ben has filled the role of weekly political opinion columnist, and enjoys researching and writing about domestic and international politics. He hopes to use his experience here to prepare him for further academics in the sphere of international politics and English literature studies.
Contrary to popular belief, Ben does not enjoy long walks on the beach. He finds getting wet sand stuck to his feet when walking near the water to be irritating. He does, however, enjoy observing the beach from a distance and listening to its beautiful ambience.
He would also like you to know his profile picture is out of date, and that quarantine during the 2020 pandemic has made his hair three times as long. He implores you to use your imagination in this regard.
