Marist student joins staff

Ben Leeds, a rising senior at Marist University, has joined The Current for the summer as a reporter.

Leeds is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in communication with a concentration in sports communication and public relations. A native of Trumbull, Connecticut, he is co-editor of Marist Circle, the independent student newspaper, and writes for Forever Blueshirts and Content Studio. He will report for The Current through August.

Funding for the summer reporter position comes from Current members who contribute to our Student Journalists Program and from the Marist University Community Journalism Initiative, a program of the Mary Louise Bopp Endowment.

News: Based on facts, either observed and verified directly by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
