Hello! My name is Hannah Durham and I was given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a month studying in Verona, Italy this summer.

I am a third-year Strategic Communications Major studying at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where I am also involved in the Jazz and Choral areas. I was accepted into the study abroad program for July 2026, and if I can raise enough money, this will be my first time going overseas in my entire life, and I will be able to study in Italy to help progress in my degree.

I am a hardworking student, but I work 3 jobs to cover tuition, groceries, and rent, and in reality, affording my study abroad program will be difficult without financial support. I am reliant on any and all scholarships and community support to achieve this dream of mine. This is an incredible opportunity that I am honored to have, so thank you for helping me make this dream a reality :)
