Events & Activities

Now that you’re a student at Hope College, take a look at the activities and events we have for international students.

Get Involved On Campus

There are many organizations on campus run by and for international students and students interested in global issues. Be sure to connect with affinity groups (everyone is welcome!) such as Hope's Asian Student Union (ASU), the Latino Student Organization (LSO), Pan-African Student Association (PASA), the Black Student Union (BSU), language clubs or the International Relations Club. There is ample opportunity to expand your interests and/or to develop new ones. For a full listing of clubs and organizations, please visit Student Life. Additional offices to connect with are the Center for Diversity and Inclusion and of course, our Center for Global Engagement.

Aside from these, many of our international students are deeply involved in regular student life. From Greek life to Hope athletics and intramurals to student-run clubs across campus, we offer a chance to completely immerse yourself in American student culture.
