Why do you love Hope?
¿ìè¶ÌÊÓƵ is a special place. Students enjoy a beautiful location, great facilities and a nurturing environment, allowing them to learn, grow and prepare for future success. Hope empowers its students to navigate their personal, spiritual and academic journey throughout their four years, providing encouragement and guidance. The personalized attention and ability to work closely with faculty are consistently mentioned by students as a strength of their Hope experience.
Outside the college
Jim enjoys traveling with his wife, as well as spending time with their extended families. He is an a cappella music fan, so that genre dominates his Spotify account!
