Program Assistant (PA)

Summer Hansen
"Hi, I’m Summer Hansen and I will be the Program Assistant for the Arts and Humanities Residential College this year. I am now a junior at Boise State and am studying mathematics. I enjoy school and like to learn. Studying, art, card games, poetry and just simply talking with peers are what round my free time usually. However, I am always open to try new things and making new friends. I’m really looking forward to this year; I hope to build relationships and find things in common with all those involved with our program. For those joining the community this year, I encourage you to be just as energized!"
