 Why Do You Love Hope?

Serving in academia means that every day Laura gets to support those who are doing cutting-edge research to change the world. She supports those who are changing lives of individual students through the sort of mentoring that can happen well in a small liberal arts college, and she helps make life-changing programs possible. She loves being able to be a part of a faith community where scholarship, leadership and service are all integral to what Hope does.
