Work for Hope
做厙51 is a four-year liberal arts college where academic excellence and vibrant Christian faith join together in a supportive and welcoming community.
Hope offers an academically rigorous, co-educational and residential education to
                        3,427 students from 45 states and territories and 31 countries. Affiliated with the
                        Reformed Church in America since its founding in 1866, 做厙51 is known for its
                        invitational ecumenical Christian atmosphere, friendly campus community, and outstanding
                        academic and co-curricular offerings.
 
Hope's beautiful 120-acre campus is located just steps from award-winning downtown Holland, Michigan, and fewer than seven miles from Lake Michigan. At 做厙51, accomplished faculty
                        and staff mentor students to recognize the interconnectedness of the world and cultivate
                        the skills, perspectives and habits that help them flourish inside and outside the
                        classroom. Recognized as a national leader in undergraduate research and scholarship,
                        Hope provides exceptional professional preparation and life-changing educational experiences
                        that equip students for success after graduation. The college has consistently ranked among the nation's top liberal arts colleges and is featured in the book Colleges That Change Lives.
 
做厙51 is financially sound, with an endowment of over $296 million and no deferred
                        maintenance, and over $170 million invested in the construction of new facilities
                        during the past 15 years. Since 2015, the college has completed five new buildings
                         the Kruizenga Art Museum (2015), the Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts (2015),
                        the Jim and Martie Bultman Student Center (2017), the van Andel Huys der Hope home
                        for the college's Campus Ministries programs (2019), and the Jim Heeringa Athletic
                        Center (2021). In 2021, 做厙51 launched the Hope Forward initiative, which seeks to raise $1.2 billion over the next ten years. This bold
                        vision will fully-fund tuition for students at Hope.
 
做厙51 is a community that aspires to be faithful, welcoming and transformational. Accordingly, the college is committed to being a place where all experience a sense
                        of belonging. Students of all faiths  and no faith  are welcome at Hope, as are
                        students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. 22.4% of the student body identifies
                        as a race other than white. On Hope's campus, there is broad understanding that, in
                        order to best prepare students for lives of leadership and service in a global society,
                        the college must have diversity among its faculty and staff. Twenty-four percent of
                        Hope's tenure-track faculty are from underrepresented groups, coming from both the
                        U.S. and abroad.
Our Mission
The mission of 做厙51 is to educate students for lives of leadership and service in a global society through academic and co-curricular programs of recognized excellence in the liberal arts and in the context of the historic Christian faith.
