Why I love Hope

Hope is home to Kate. She has never felt more comfortable and welcomed in any other place. Kate feels Hope is full of faithful, intelligent, warm-hearted people who make this an amazing place for her to work and live. She met her husband and her best friends here, and it holds some of her favorite memories.

Hope's connection to the Holland community and the support it receives from its neighbors is a fun experience for Kate. She finds Hope’s campus and the Holland area to be breathtakingly beautiful.

Outside the college

凯特喜欢跑步，做饭，找甜甜圈，和她的儿子和女儿一起享受时光。她也一直在为是否要加入牛津逗号而争论不休。她的人生目标是拜访每一位美国总统的坟墓，这激发了很多人到全国各地旅行。
