Orientation kick-off event: August 14, 2020

“Welcoming You to Hope” Recording

Did you miss the June 23 event? No worries! Here’s a recording of the live event! We answered some questions about Orientation dates and Family Orientation, heard some advice about the college transition from our student life leaders, and heard from our campus leaders about the “Hope Way.”

We may be biased, but we think Hope College is one of the best places on Earth.

As you prepare for the transition to college in August, you’re sure to have a question or two (or 20). We’ll do our best to have all the answers.

Learn about the current Hope students who will greet you on move-in day and find information for before you arrive, including:

If you still have questions, please shoot us an email.
