Communications junior Trace Podder is a first-year News Staffer on The Muse. He first took a liking to journalism in his fourth grade language arts class, and although it’s been some time since he last experienced that desire, he’s excited to be working on The Muse this year. He also takes debate honors and competes on a national level. When he’s not doing schoolwork (which is very often,) Podder enjoys playing the drums, listening to music, and watching his favorite shows. He volunteers for Garden’s Medical Center and a music camp during the summer months.
