UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa student Hayley Hanta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> German major Hayley Hanta<\/strong> earned the prestigious Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange<\/a> (CBYX<\/abbr>) for Young Professionals fellowship, awarded by the U.S. Department of State<\/a> and supported, in large part, by the German Bundestag<\/a> (legislative body). Hanta, who is also majoring in\u00a0geography,\u00a0will live\u00a0in Germany for a year, beginning in July, as a participant in the work-study program with a cultural exchange focus. Hanta will undertake two months of intensive German language training, study at a university, and intern at a German-speaking workplace.<\/p>\n

Recalling\u00a0her first experience in Germany while in high school, Hanta said,\u00a0“My German language training at that time had been very minimal, and most of the time I could not flip through my dictionary fast enough to keep up with what was going on around me.” The experience made\u00a0Hanta determined to have a different outcome this time around. While knowing the CBYX<\/abbr> year will not be easy, she intends to return to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> as a more confident, grounded\u00a0and well-rounded human being.<\/p>\n

“I\u00a0hope to gain a more comprehensive and intimate understanding of the world. Fluency in the language will greatly increase my personal, academic\u00a0and professional possibilities,” she said. Hanta also wants to play a part in strengthening relations between the U.S. and Germany.<\/p>\n

Her geography focus will provide her a thorough understanding of human and environmental processes, which she believes will help her identify problems and develop effective long-term solutions. “To that end, my professional goal is to work at the intersection of humanity and the natural world. Specifically, I would like to help mitigate the effects of climate change and develop hospitable environments for those affected by it,” said Hanta.<\/p>\n
