/ Fostering a Community of Excellence in Science (FACES)

First-Year Students

If you’re an incoming freshman interested in a STEM field, FACES may be for you.

Joining FACES will give you a chance to grow in your community here at Hope while becoming established in the science division. By gaining insight from a mentor, you’ll have an inside look at potential career options, the services Hope has to offer and many great study tips.

Once you are committed to attending Hope, you will receive an application to apply to the program the summer before your freshman year. You can then fill out the application form, and the mentoring director will inform you of your acceptance.
