Okay, everyone, meet the charismatic Pablo. He traveled more than 4,000 miles from Spain to continue his education and tennis career right here at Hanover. He quickly found a place to call home where, quite possibly, everyone might just actually know his name. Pablo, que pasa?

– Thanks, Alex. Hola, everyone. The last year in Spain, I spent most of the time playing tennis in a competitive level while getting my high school degree in order to get a good scholarship in a well-recognized school. It was my eventual coach, Coach LaRue, that call me two days before I made my decision and told me about the business program, the culture on the tennis team, and the beauty of this campus, and I decided to come here, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Being an international student, opened me many doors on campus, and I’ve been able to meet many people through the past four years. Since my first week on campus, everybody has welcomed me as students knew I was from a completely different country and they wanted to make me feel like I was home and learn about me and my culture. Hanover offers you many possibilities to be involved in campus as 90% of the students are part of some clubs, teams, organizations. Touring moment kind of start as soon as you arrive on campus. I’ve been part of many aspects of campus life and know almost everyone I pass when I’m on campus or in classes. As a four-year member and tennis team captain, I have grown on and off the court. I’ve also serve as a treasurer of the International Club, work in the dining hall, and support the students as a Spanish tutor at the Gladish Learning Center. It’s easy to ask for help here. I even held the marketing and communication department with occasional projects. As you can see, I have a full plate but Hanover offers you many opportunities and a good environment to work and play. Coming all the way from Spain to Hanover to get my degree has helped me to become the person that I am today, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. That’s my story. Back to you, Alex.

– Sweet ride, Pablo! Hanover’s campus community feature students from all across the US and around the globe, and it’s easy to make friends and be known here. Students connect and get involved in so many ways at Hanover, whether it be through classes, meals, athletics, and clubs, or even campus jobs. You definitely can find your niche right here at Hanover. Gracias, Pablo.
