Benjamin Upshaw

Hometown: Lockport, NY

Intended Major: Philosophy

I was raised in Lockport, a small city outside of Buffalo, New York and I have spent the last three years living in a suburb of Buffalo. I have been interested in the humanities since middle school when I first became involved with academic competition through the National Geographic Bee. The Milstein Program addresses my interest in interdisciplinary ethical problems involving government, politics, medicine, finance, and technology. In my free time I enjoy running, cooking, reading, and watching Youtube videos.
