UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Exploring the Swiss Alps, working with American diplomats around the world and living in a rural village in West Africa are just a few of the adventures Hannah Hernandez has experienced while she has been a Penn State World Campus student.
The 22-year-old native of Tucson, Arizona, has worked abroad and pursued her degree through World Campus since she was 19. She is majoring in letters, arts, and sciences with a concentration in international security and plans to graduate in fall 2015.
“Living overseas has given me incredible experiences and opportunities I never imagined,” Hernandez said. After her first internship with the FBI’s international operations division in Washington in 2013, “I realized that there was a really big world out there and I wanted to be a part of it,” she said.
