Conventional wisdom says that a repeat customer signals a good experience, but thatÑÇÖÞÉ«°É™s
not really an appropriate model to use for a college (although Hope welcomes students
who have left and return!). In the end, itÑÇÖÞÉ«°É™s more meaningful that many parents who
attended Hope are happy to see their children do the same. Pictured are 10 of this
yearÑÇÖÞÉ«°É™s third- through sixth- New Generational Students, a fraction of the 117 generational
freshmen or transfers newly enrolled at Hope this year. From left to right are: Row 1, Hannah Bredeweg (third), Abigail Bache (third), Elizabeth Duistermars (fourth) and
Amelia Waalkes (third); Row 2, Dominick Byrne (third), Caleb Hoekstra (sixth), Gabriel DeJongh (third), Garrett
Borgman (third), Thomas Hoffman (fifth) and Brennan Church (third).
