Milo Gringlas, Legislative Advocacy
Milo is a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University from Pound Ridge, New York. He is hoping to major in Government as well as American History and International Relations. Milo’s curiosity has always been piqued by politics and global affairs, which he attributes to the many political conversations initiated at the dinner table during his childhood. During the summer of 2017, Milo worked in Washington, D.C. as a Senate Page, where he learned the inner-workings and processes of government. During this time, he also realized his passion for government could possibly translate into a career opportunity. He has been a key asset for Students Against Nicotine in addressing legislative issues, reaching out to other kids about our mission, and meeting with local and state politicians to find solutions to the crisis of youth nicotine addiction.
