Get to Know Hannah:
Why did you choose WSU?
WSU is one of the best places to obtain a plant science degree, and has provided me with many research opportunities. I also chose WSU because it has four distinct weather seasons, emphasizes graduating in four years, and encourages studying abroad. The Ferdinand’s ice cream is a bonus!
What is your favorite thing about WSU?
The WSU Arboretum is my favorite spot on campus. There is a short walking trail. I love watching the sunset over the top of campus from there. And it is close to the bears!
Favorite part about being a CAHNRS Ambassador?
I find higher education outreach amongst high school students especially rewarding.
