We don’t just believe in hope, we dare to live it.
It takes hope to believe the world can change. It takes courage to be part of it. Those who carry hope aren’t naïve or foolish. They’re just bold enough to devote their lives to service and the confident expectation that the future will be better than the past.

How Hope College’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides sustainable,
effective care for students. Formalized in 325 AD, the Nicene Creed remains the theological steel backbone for
today’s Christians. It’s the foundational, ancient statement of Christian belief that
acts as a simple summary of the core Christian doctrines. Hope College is celebrating
its 1,700th anniversary during the 2025–2026 academic year. Hope College is breaking ground on a spacious new home for the college’s thriving
Department of Economics and Business, helping transform the program and countless
young lives, while complementing the east entrance of downtown Holland. Higher education is facing tough times. Now more than ever, those who care about education,
especially liberal arts education, must defend its value. Connecting with Hope College families is serious business for Katie Wright ’06 DeKoster,
Hope’s director of family engagement. Pioneers. Co-creators. OGs. The first 20 Hope Forward graduates are proof that the
fully-funded tuition program is not only working, but also having a far-reaching positive
impact on students’ lives and the campus community — and poised to do the same beyond.
