Spencer Wilkinson
Reporter| Access Utah Producer | Digital/Administrative InternMy love for politics and writing brought me to UPR in February of 2025. Though I started as just a digital intern, I have loved spending the past few months collecting jobs like Pokémon cards. As a USU sophomore pursuing an English degree, the Events Director of USU's Government Relations Council, and member of the College of Arts and Sciences Council, I spend a lot of time on campus — working on homework and thinking about USU in general. When I get a chance to breathe, I love to read and get little treats with friends.
