Anchors of Hope: Honoring Hope鈥檚 Eight Newest Faculty Retirees

The words penned by the Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte when establishing the Pioneer School from which Hope grew are among the college鈥檚 most foundational: education as an 鈥渁nchor of hope鈥� for the future. Through all the decades since, that promise has been shepherded by generations of faculty mentors who have not only been at Hope, but in a real sense have been and are Hope. Across campus 鈥� in the classroom, in the laboratory, on the stage, on the playing field and in countless ways between and beyond 鈥� for a combined 205 years, the eight faculty retirees honored here have embodied and helped realize the vision of transforming tomorrow by shaping young lives today.
