“ It’s not what you memorize that sets you up for success, but your ability to connect your knowledge to new issues and ideas. Luther College’s interdisciplinary studies courses and class bundles helped me develop the flexible thinking skills I use every day.”

A graduate from Luther College in Political Science, Greg is presently a lawyer with Gerrand Rath Johnson, focusing on labour law and privacy. He writes a weekly column for the Regina Leader-Post and is a freelance political writer. He is also an active volunteer in Saskatchewan’s political and debate communities.
