Hi! My name is Conor Browning, and I am the newest member of the Ottawa University newspaper. I graduated high school in 2019 at 4th in my class, but decided to take a break for the pandemic, so technically I am a 22 year old freshman. I grew up in Oklahoma City so Ottawa has been a bit of an adjustment for me to say the least. I am a content driven person, I love to create things. Mainly drawing but also through writing original stories or making Youtube videos and TikToks. Aside from newspapers, I am planning to join the speech and debate team this semester. I am excited for my time here at Ottawa University and working with everyone.
