Meet Hannah: Presidential Scholar '23

Hannah

I chose my major of K-12 physical and health education because I have always been passionate for health and fitness.  I wanted to be a teacher specifically, so that I can be a positive role model for my future students to live healthy and active lifestyles. 

My favorite part of my major is that it is a small program, which has allowed me to form close connections with my professors and peers.  Additionally, I love that my major covers all grade levels and is the dual major of both physical and health education because it expands the teaching opportunities that I will have after graduation. 

I am currently the secretary of the running club at 澳门六合彩官网直播 (RunWestern).  I also have a part-time serving job.

I would encourage them to attend 澳门六合彩官网直播 if they offer the major they are interested in. I would tell them that the campus is beautiful, there are many resources available, and the sporting events (especially the hockey games) are fun to attend.
