Ufon Umanah’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I used to be a student reporter at Columbia University, serving as editor-in-chief of student newsmagazine The Blue and White. During that time, I held clips at The Observer and Columbia Daily Spectator.

As a student reporter, I followed partisan clubs, student councils and the University Senate, as well as legal cases affecting the University. I now have a blog where I self-publish stuff: http://ufonumanah.com/
