Hannah Howard

A Massachusetts girl born and bred, Hannah first fell in love with the Pioneer Valley as a student at Mount Holyoke College, where she earned a degree in Middle Eastern Studies. Her research focused on honor crimes and national identity in Jordan. Post-graduation, Hannah was itching to return to the Valley and Hampshire was a natural fit.

In her free time, Hannah is an avid runner, cook and food blogger, and yoga practitioner. She is passionate about issues of gender equity and feminism, LGBT and queer issues, and supporting survivors of domestic violence.

Current Position
Hannah Howard joined the CLA staff in August 2012. She oversees the ERF (Event Registration Form) process and the office's social media outlets and web presence. Hannah also staffs CLA events and assists students in all manners of event planning, from preparation to purchasing and everything in between.

Hannah continually works to evolve in her understanding of student affairs and issues that affect students, and has attended a variety of workshops and trainings including Supporting Trans* Students, Real Talk About Whiteness, Step Up: Active Bystander Training, and Working with Students with Autism/Asperger's.

The engaged and critical student body and the multitude of events on campus are what Hannah most appreciates about Hampshire. Her favorite Hampshire memories are petting Coco the cow at Community Carnival and honoring fantastic student leaders each year at the Ingenuity Awards Dinner.
