Samuel Driggers, Staff Writer
Formerly GPR Senior Editor (Jan. 2017 – Dec. 2018), GPR Assistant Senior Editor (Fall 2017), and Staff Writer (Spring 2017)
Sam Driggers is pursuing a dual bachelor’s in international affairs and master’s in international relations through the University of Georgia’s dual degree program. Growing up on St. Simons Island, GA, a place almost entirely devoid of any exciting politics, Sam is unsure of why he became interested in political science and international relations. When he is not in class or writing for GPR, he is probably scratching something off of his endless reading list, exploring the outdoors, watching Scrubs, or ineptly practicing his drums. He says sorry to his neighbors for that last one.
