Hi everyone!

My name is Alanna Powers and I am a freshman Communications major. I was born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I am taking Science 200 because I was told by my adviser that it was a great GenEd to take for my first semester to help complete my science requirement. I’m not going to be a science major because science usually involves math, something that I am completely terrible at, and I am also not patient enough to be a scientist.

However, I know that I will be able to put my future communications degree to good use, and I hope that this course helps my view science in a different light so that I develop an understanding of it that will make me not only a better communicator but also a better world citizen.

That’s basically all there is to know about me, I’ll leave you with what I did this summer. I spent my time here this summer, taking my first two summer courses. I got to experience a lot of what State College had to offer before the crowds arrived. My favorite thing of this summer was Arts Fest, where I got to do a project about the diversity of one of my favorite things, dogs! If you would like to know more about what I did this summer, watch my first year experience video!
