Hannah M. Siano
Whitman College

Hannah is a junior environmental studies/politics major at Whitman College. She is passionate about environmental education, sparking an interest in the natural world for people of all ages, and working to change lifestyles to be more 'earth-compatible'. When she's not chilling with her worm friends in the Whitman College Worm Wigwam in Walla Walla, Washington, Hannah can likely be found snowboarding, hiking, playing soccer, or jumping in ice-cold bodies of water. She is currently studying comparative ecology and conservation in Ecuador while tromping around in the Amazon.

How can you describe a weekend of student leaders from across the U.S. with an intense passion to change the world? The Orientation was a phenomenal experience to meet and build connections that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
