2020 Stanford OHS Senior: Hannah Yang
 

What was your favorite Stanford OHS course and why?
Stanford OHS has so many amazing courses, but my favorite would have to be University-Level Literature with Dr. Kerr! Last semester transformed my entire view of how I perceive and interact with images. This semester, I’ve really enjoyed working on creative projects that explore text and media. Most importantly, I love my classmates — who have become a support system and family — for inspiring me with their thoughtful comments and creations and for never failing to make me laugh.

What is your favorite/best Stanford OHS memory?
My conversations with my best friends, who make me feel so understood and who inspire me to be the best version of myself.

What is your career goal?
I would love to eventually become the creative director of an advertising agency which, instead of contributing to consumerism, would advocate for environmental movements. Regardless of what I end up pursuing, I hope to do something that helps other people, involves creativity and design principles, and which aligns with my values.

In 10 years, you hope:
That humans will have (finally) done something to prevent/decelerate climate change.
