Family Tradition: Generational Students
A reception on campus during Orientation Weekend on Saturday, Aug. 27, provided an opportunity for the college’s generational new students and their families to connect with each other and members of the Hope faculty and staff, more than a few of whom had been a part of the campus community when the new students’ parents were likewise at Hope—and remembered them fondly and well.
The college has a total of 106 generational new students this year, ranging from the second generation of their family to attend Hope through the fifth. The list is available on the college’s website, along with a photograph showing many of the third-, fourth- and fifth-generation students.
