When I walked onto Hope’s campus the summer before my senior year of high school, I could feel it was different than the other schools I’d toured. If I go somewhere on campus or downtown, I typically run into a few people I know and a few I don’t. a photo from my first visit to Hope in August 2021 1.
President Scogin does exactly this– even at similar small colleges, it’s rare to have a president that lives on campus with his family, knows many of his students’ names, and eats in the dining hall with everyone else. Last Halloween, all of campus was even invited to Trick or Treat at Scogin’s house.
Outside of the dorm, Counseling and Psychological Services and CampusMinistries chaplains are helpful resources that offer support in the transition to independent living. CampusMinistries staff invited my friend group to their house for dinner as we prepped for exams. Moving away from home can definitely be hard!
I also work for the Hope Admissions Blog, writing pieces like the one you’re reading right now! I’ve always loved writing — and I love Hope — so writing for the Admissions Blog has also been such a special thing for me. My blogging job is a lot more flexible, and all virtual. What do I like about my jobs?
It’s been easy to get involved, see friends when I need to, and go to church without straying too far from campus. A way that I’m going to start this conversation is by attending the event series “Life After College” which is put on by the Career Development Center , CampusMinistries , and the Senior Seminar program.
There is also the Gathering service every Sunday on campus at Dimnent, and CampusMinistry will also host events for deeper faith formation, including several Bible studies. Benedict Institute on campus offers Catholic mass every day and the sacrament of adoration every Tuesday in St. At its very core, Hope is distinct.
I remember my visit days oh too well–trying to mask how freaked out I was, unsure about how to hold the massive orange folder on my campus tour, and sitting at chapel feeling awkward that my mom was taking a video of the worship team. I was beyond overwhelmed. A wave of more decisions looms ahead.
If not for these then go on an immersion trip through CampusMinistries! The Badlands were formed by a salt-lake that dried up and left behind fossilized turtle shells and neat patterns of dirt and rocks. It’s a beautiful hike — but an even greater look into why the tribe treasures the land taken from them.
Hope’s campusministries played the largest part in my faith journey. I have also participated in a bible study through Hope’s campusministries, and this gave me a community that supported me through my walk with Christ, something I have never experienced before.
