My name is Sam Bull, and I am a third-year journalism student at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.

​

I first got involved with journalistic writing in high school, and I've since found a passion. Journalism is essential for accountability, awareness and progressive change — all of which are in low supply in our current national and international landscape. I am grateful that the work I do inside and outside the classroom can contribute to these sentiments, and I hope to carry the things I've learned and the skills I've developed into a meaningful role in the field of journalism or law.

​

At Northwestern, I apply my journalistic skills as a writer and feature editor for the North by Northwestern student magazine. I have taken up roles as an editor and writer but also a designer, fact-checker, photographer, team member and leader. I also serve as Executive Officer of the Sustainability Committee of Northwestern's Student Government, leading a committee of dozens of members and facilitating various sustainability-related projects, events and initiatives across campus. I've also had experience with legal analysis, spending several quarters as a writer for the Northwestern Undergraduate Law Journal.
