Name: Hope Bodenschatz

Work Title: Network Assistant

What does that mean? I assist with front of office duties (answering the phone and greeting students when they arrive for appointments or with questions).

Education: I am a third-year undergraduate student at Penn State pursuing bachelor’s degrees in Economics, Geography, and Political Science with minors in Mathematics and Sustainability Leadership.

Fun Fact: I am a fourth generation Penn Stater, so I definitely bleed blue and white!

Favorite Part of the Job: I love having an inside look at the myriad opportunities available to Liberal Arts students and seeing the power of a Penn State Liberal Arts education at work.
