About

Joshua Preston is an undergraduate student studying Political Science (Political Theory) and American History at the University of Minnesota-Morris who divides his time between screaming in libraries, writing pompous essays, reading and daydreaming prose and poetry. He’s originally from Montevideo, MN, where he still serves on the Board of Directors for Clean Up the River Environment, an Upper Minnesota River Watershed advocacy group. In addition, he occasionally travels around the state speechifying as the College Caucus Chair of the Minnesota Young DFL.
