why do you love hope? 

There are so many reasons why Jenna loves this place and calls it home: the genuine, loving and passionate faculty and staff members, being around such an amazing student body every day, Hope's location near downtown Holland, attending the Hope College basketball games and the atmosphere of the arena on game day.
