2 | Hope Family Weekend 2015

AN INVITATION FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Parents and Families:

Kelly and I cordially invite you to join us on campus for Family Weekend on October 30 – November 1. Hope College plays an important role in the life of your son or daughter, and we look forward to sharing the warmth of the campus community with you for a few short days. We have many special activities planned which include campus tours, movies, athletic events, breakfast with us, and much more.

While on campus, be sure to stop at the Hope-Geneva Bookstore for some Hope swag to proudly display in your home town, and don’t miss the 81st Annual Nykerk Cup Competition on Saturday evening.

Our passion at Hope is to provide an exceptional experience in a caring, Christian environment both inside and outside of the classroom. This special weekend is full of opportunities to share in the traditions of Hope, while also spending some coveted time with your child in their home away from home.

We hope to see you in a few weeks!

Cordially,

John C. Knapp, Ph.D.President and Professor
