Faculty and Staff
Learning a new language works best when you’re able to collaborate, ask questions and practice. Our faculty of world languages and cultures have created an environment rich in the cultures we teach and speak.
Our offices hours are accessible outside of the regular class schedule, and we offer conversation classes, tutoring and cultural events with our native language assistants to provide more opportunity to practice your language skills.
Team members are listed alphabetically by last name. For general modern and classical language inquiries, please email stephensona@hope.edu or call 616-395-7570.
