Meghan Quinn

4th-Year Student

My name is Meghan, and I am a fourth-year student majoring in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Health Policy Administration. I am in the Schreyer Honors College and am working to complete my thesis this year! Outside of the classroom, I work in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life as a Lead Peer Educator, serving my second term on the Panhellenic Executive Board as the Vice President for Recruitment, and am a member of Kappa Alpha Theta.

I am incredibly excited to be an HHD Instagram Ambassador for Human Development and Family Studies and highlight this major’s many opportunities and diverse academic and career paths. In HDFS, I am an Undergraduate Research and Teaching Assistant! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with friends and family, Irish dance, and attending workout classes with my roommates.

Gabby Knarr

3rd-Year Student

Hello! My name is Gabby Knarr, and I am a third-year student. I am majoring in HDFS and minoring in Psychology. My future goal is to be accepted into Penn State's MSW program and start my career as a mental health therapist. 

I like to help out the college of HDFS by volunteering for our events and I enjoyed being a TA for HDFS 229. I work as a server in State College and in my free time I like to travel, bake, read, and spend time with family. If you have any questions about the major or the opportunities it brings, please feel free to reach out to me!

This initiative highlight’s our Human Development and Family Studies major through the eyes of Meghan and Gabby. We encourage you to follow them, comment on posts, ask questions, and even offer to provide your own experience as a student.
