Gus Clevenger, Staff Writer
The power of storytelling is used to inspire and make people think more deeply and thoughtfully about what was presented to them. To Gus Clevenger, a senior at Jesuit high school,
storytelling is at the forefront of his life, through seeking out new adventures and finding creative ways to describe the world around him. As a young kid, Gus was surrounded with art and
writing and never saw himself doing much of anything else. Through listening to his dad make up crazy stories about made up characters, to walking around OHSU and sitting through
interviews of dental students with his mom, storytelling was always there. This will be Gus’s second year as an editor and writer for the Jesuit Chronicle. In his first year as a Journalism
Student, he learned the fundamentals of Indesign as well as explored topics ranging from the Jesuit administrative policies to food writing. Gus enjoys writing opinions , sharing different
perspectives, and connecting people through stories. He hopes to continue discovering what he loves to write about as well as continue to put passion into his work to connect the Jesuit
community through stories and discussion. In his free time, Gus enjoys running, cooking, drawing, going on long walks, and being with family.
