For the Students

Gretchen Hansen is one of the Program Support Technicians for The School of Communication Studies. She grew up and went to school in Luray, VA (home of the Luray Caverns), and still currently resides there.  She began working at SCOM in February 2003, and just had her 10 year anniversary.  It was a great opportunity to sit down with her and ask her for some tips and advice for our SCOM students.
