Tyler Hoppe, a fourth-year student majoring in political science and minoring in psychology, is leveraging his personal experiences to help advocate for students with disabilities across Penn State campuses.
Hoppe, from Mount Savage, Maryland, attended Maryland School for the Blind after losing his eyesight later in life. While at the school, Hoppe learned the importance of advocacy organizations such as the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind. He would become more involved in the organizations after joining student government at Penn State Altoona.
