As the Associate Director of External Relations, Hannah Morris spends her time recruiting, meeting new students, and catching up with alumni. An MAIB alumna, Hannah worked with the School of Business for a year before joining the MAIB/MSM department in the Hough Graduate School of Business. After two years with the MAIB program, her favorite parts of the job are meeting exchange students, attending the Budapest study tour, and planning alumni events.

Growing up an Army brat, Hannah attended Baby Gator Nursery School before moving to over nine states. Thankfully, weather and the Gators brought her back to the University of Florida where she earned a bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Master of Arts with a major in International Business. Hannah loves to tailgate in her free time and enjoys Gator Football road trips with her husband and friends. She is especially fond of traveling, particularly internationally, and loves learning about other cultures (and eating their food). As a student she studied abroad for a semester in both Rouen, France and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Her favorite parts about studying abroad were spending weekends in Zanzibar and visiting Victoria Falls on a dare. Her lifelong goal is to become a true "Global Gator" by visiting half of the countries in the world and just added one more at the World Cup in South Africa.
