Student Spotlight: Alayna Hatcher

"When I first considered studying abroad, I was hesitant, because I didn't know if I wanted to leave my family and friends. I found it easier to make the choice when I received nothing but support from my friends, family, professors and the NKU community. In the end, I am beyond blessed to have studied abroad twice and experienced a multitude of cultures."
