Teaching Matters Student Employment

Student Experience Students commonly give feedback that they would like ‘real-life’ opportunities to use their degree during study. Placements allow this but are quite challenging to resource. Volunteering opportunities can be hugely valuable and offer similar experience, especially when related to the degree discipline. Our students feel under pressure to get involved in volunteering.

Pine Ridge, South Dakota One of the unique academic experiences that Hope College offers students is to study over the summer months through May, June and July terms.

iStock [nambitomo] This week’s lighthearted news: someone’s paid $1.56m for a scribbled note from 1922, which reads (translating from the German) “a calm and modest life is happier than a life of successful but constantly agitated striving.” It was from Albert Einstein, who had just won the Nobel prize. He doesn’t say striving is bad, but he does remind us to consider options for happiness and peace.

I screw things up. I get anxious. Sometimes I feel alone. Yes, I feel this way even at Hope College. Hope. Hope is rooted in our name. I believe that we all have a hope for something great. To achieve something great. To do something great. To be something great. We’re told that this Hope will never fail us. But somewhere along the lines this Hope that we hold can grow foggy.
