Hanna said the University of Oregon has always been her dream school because of the amazing school spirit, the unique diversity on campus, and the great academic opportunities. As a first-year student, she seized the opportunity to live in the Business Academic Residential Community, which pairs like-minded students interested in business with dedicated on-site programs, activities, and advising to jumpstart their academic and professional development.
