Alex Leininger

Student, University of Missouri

Alex is a senior at the University of Missouri studying journalism, and was born and raised in the Kansas suburbs of Kansas City (a distinction that matters, believe it or not). On campus, he contributes to the Columbia Missourian and its magazine insert and takes Alternative Breaks trips with other students during excessively long winter holidays. Despite being a stereotypical Midwesterner, Alex hopes to leave flyover country after graduation to work in a big city. He is probably daydreaming and making himself laugh right now.
