Merry Christmas

Warm Christmas greetings from Hope College!

In this final week of Advent, Kelly and I are mindful of our many blessings, especially the friendship and support of the Hope College community. We are thankful that our college is strong and that faith remains at the center of all we do as the year draws to a close.

Now that final exams are over and our students have left for a well-deserved break, we invite you to take a few moments to enjoy this special video featuring the sights and sounds of the Annual Lighting of the President’s Christmas Tree. On behalf of these and all students who call Hope College home, thank you for your dedication, prayers and stewardship.

In this Christmas season and throughout the new year, Kelly and I pray that you and your family may know true peace and joy.

President John C. Knapp
