GETTING TO KNOW HANNAH
Why did you choose Lehigh? I loved Coach Deb and there seemed to be so many great programs and activities going on at Lehigh that I could be a part of. It seemed like a place that would both challenge me and allow me to thrive academically and athletically.
What’s your favorite thing about Lehigh? All of the students are so passionate and involved across campus. It’s awesome to see so many hardworking people in one place.
Major & Why: I chose I.D.E.A.S. because it gives me the opportunity to be creative with my course load and satisfy my desire to learn about many unique subjects. It will also provide me with a great knowledge base for grad school.

One unique thing no one knows about me: If I didn’t play sports I’d be involved in all sorts of musical things like orchestras and plays
Favorite place to study: Steps in the winter and Rauch patio when it’s nice out!
