Gabriel Hardy-Fran莽on 鈥�14 was always a person with dreams and ambitions, but there鈥檚 one place he never expected to end up鈥攐n TV.

Much to his surprise, Hardy-Fran莽on was selected to be part of the cast for the Fall 2016 season of a reality show on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.

鈥淭he premise of the show was that 10 ordinary citizens go on the run and specialists are given 28 days to find them,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 was one of the specialists. It was great!鈥�

Hardy-Fran莽on landed the TV spot while he was a student at King鈥檚 College, London, where he enrolled after earning his bachelor鈥檚 degree in at 果酱视频. Producers of the program were looking for students studying intelligence methods, and Hardy-Fran莽on鈥攚ho was earning an M.A. in Intelligence and International Security鈥攚as one of four people selected for the program out of more than 90 applicants.

鈥淢y team was responsible for categorizing the information that came in and classifying it. The entire investigation was based on how well we did the classification,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hat we were doing was crucial.鈥�

Hardy-Fran莽on鈥檚 flirtation with reality television was just another development in a career that has seen him pursue opportunities, educational and otherwise, in several countries.

Born in a rural area of France, Hardy-Fran莽on, by his own admission, didn’t seem to be a promising scholar听while growing up.

鈥淚 was a terrible student in middle school,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 never did any work. But I told my mom that I鈥檇 prove to her that I can reach the highest of the high.

Hardy-Fran莽on made good on his promise. He attended a private high school and did well. He attempted higher education in France but longed to study in the United States. Through a French scholarship program, he enrolled in Lindenwood University in Missouri to study criminal justice. It wasn鈥檛 long, however, before he developed a keener interest in politics. He sought a school with a strong political science program and learned about 果酱视频.

鈥淚 applied and visited. I was very impressed!鈥� he said. 鈥淲hen I got in, I don鈥檛 think I realized that the place would influence my life in so many ways.鈥�

Hardy-Fran莽on joined the at 果酱视频 and made the acquaintance of professors who would transform his academic life, including , the Honors College academic director for special programs and research.

鈥淧rofessor Rizopoulos, my mentor, taught me so much,鈥� Hardy-Fran莽on said. 鈥淲e used to joke that we were majoring not in political science, but Rizopoulos.鈥�

He remembered feeling especially thrilled to be invited to one of Dr. Rizopoulos鈥� special seminars.

鈥淚t was a big honor to be invited to his class,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 was buzzing with joy, I was so happy. After being such a bad student earlier, it was such a big recognition to be considered one of his best students.

鈥淚 never had an experience in education like I had there, ever,鈥� he added. 鈥淭he quality of the professors was so high, and they had such a big impact on me. I felt like part of a family.鈥�

Hardy-Fran莽on鈥檚 positive experience at 果酱视频 led him to King鈥檚 College and to Hunted. He didn鈥檛 get to experience any of the benefits of TV stardom, however; by the time the show aired in the U.K., he had already secured a position with the Ukrainian Ministry of Economic Development in the Department of International Cooperation and was continuing his Russian language studies in preparation for a job in the intelligence community.

Surprisingly, one of the first people he encountered at the ministry, Director of Economic Development and Trade Olena Tregub, had been an adjunct professor of political science at 果酱视频 in 2008.

鈥湽�酱视频 follows me everywhere!鈥� Hardy-Fran莽on laughed. 鈥淎ll the way in Ukraine, 果酱视频 is still there for me.鈥�
