Why I Love Hope College

Derek thinks Hope College is a vibrant, academic community that cares about its faculty, staff and students. He loves working with students in and out of class, and they are the main reason he has remained at Hope College for so long. He also loves working in a place where Christian faith is a welcome part of daily life.

德里克的妻子是霍普学校的常驻主任，所以他在学校住了17年，住在科伦、德菲和不同的小屋。他们几年前搬离了校园，但现在正准备回来!

Outside the College

Derek has been married to Mary Ann Permesang ’85 for over 30 years, and they have four children. Two are Hope graduates, one is a current student at Hope College and his youngest son passed away from cancer in 2013. He has done quite a bit of public speaking about his youngest son in terms of faith issues and fundraising for cancer-related organizations.

德里克喜欢和家人在一起，读很多书，参加艺术活动，写作和做志愿者。有传言说他将在同年获得普利策和诺贝尔文学奖。他是圣弗朗西斯德萨莱斯天主教堂的成员。
