Becky Robrahn has been the director of creative services since 2014. In this role, she oversees the creative development of marketing and communication materials for Hope College. That umbrella encompasses things that are seen by either tens of thousands of people or just a few, and projects that are sent to alumni and prospective students all over the world or just around campus.

Her day-to-day tasks allow her to work on a large variety of projects and be a champion of the Hope College brand. She feels so fortunate to be working with a very creative, talented, hardworking team in Public Affairs and Marketing.

Education

• B.A., psychology, Hope College, 1996

Professional experience

在加入公共事务和市场营销之前，丽贝卡在Hope公司的计算和信息技术部门担任项目经理超过18年。在那里，她能够在网站起步阶段就开始工作，并喜欢上了数据处理、校园交流，以及与Hope中不同角色的人见面。

Awards and recognition

Becky received the regional Ranatra Fusca Award for Odyssey of the Mind (formerly Olympics of the Mind) when she was 8 years old. Since then, it's been a little quiet on the awards front. Sometimes she’s erroneously recognized as a colleague named Heather.

Why I love Hope

Becky finds that the people who work for Hope College are the best. Time and time again, she has met colleagues who were willing to help their coworkers or change the way a process is organized or communicated for the greater good. There is a "can do" spirit here that invigorates her. She appreciates the genuine care that her Hope friends have shown for her and the opportunity to return that same care.

Outside the college

Becky is a busy mom to a teenage son and daughter. They live in downtown Zeeland, which she insists is way better than you've been told. (Come Feel the Zeel!) When she's not attending her kids' extra-curricular activities, she’s walking her three-legged dog. She loves to cook, garden, knit and jump out of airplanes.

She and her family are members of Maple Avenue Ministries in Holland.

Her bucket list includes telling a story on The Moth Radio Hour and learning to ride a motorcycle (by herself).
