Oliver Stricherz is a junior entering his first year in newspaper as a staff writer. He is “driven, angered and interested” in human rights and dynamics, hoping to explore human stories. Stricherz was inspired to join the Southerner because of his interest in writing and hopes to push himself to practice writing more this year. This year in the newspaper Stricherz wants to try it all, exploring the different sections and opportunities the Southerner has to offer. A fun fact about Stricherz is that he is just a little bit color blind, has a cat and two dogs, and would love to visit Italy someday. Outside of the Southerner, Stricherz can be found working at Radio K, hanging out with friends, exploring the city, and discovering new music.
