Peer advisors
Rachel Hoppe, peer advisor
Rachel Hoppe is a peer advisor for the Department of Spanish and Portuguese from Chanhassen, MN. She is pursuing a double major in Journalism and Spanish Studies. She fell in love with Spanish after seeing how passionate many of her teachers at Chanhassen High School were for the language. Rachel knew she wanted to continue studying Spanish when she started to see her ability to communicate complex thoughts develop. Rachel hopes she can help other students continue their academic endeavors within the Spanish and Portuguese Studies department!
