Alexis Wilson, a fourth-year Penn State student, is a Paterno Fellow and Schreyer Scholar pursuing a double major in English and Italian with a minor in art history. Hailing from Mars, Pennsylvania, Wilson has long had a passion for literature and language, a love that has shaped both her academic and personal journey, she said.
“I have loved English since I was a little girl. My parents will tell you I could always be found with my nose in a book,” said Wilson, whose early passion solidified in high school, when an English class confirmed her love for reading, analysis and literature.
