Why I Love Hope

Some of Nate’s very best memories occurred at Hope. He was involved in many aspects of community life while at Hope, including Gospel Choir, Nykerk, Campus Ministries, The Pull and many intramurals. Being back on campus 20 years after starting as a freshman has given him a better appreciation of the type of experience Hope offers.
