Fall Preview Day

This Thursday, Hope will be holding it's annual Fall Preview Day. I always get so excited for preview days because this event was a day that helped me discover that Hope was the university I was going to attend. It was at a preview day where I truly experienced what Hope had to offer. I was instantily welcomed onto the campus and into the community. I had the opportunity to sit in on classes and was encouraged to participate. Not only was I greeted at chapel, but I was prayed over by students and faculty around me. Fall Preview Day was a game-changing event for me. Don't miss out!

I am completely aware that Halloween has gone and passed, but this story is just too good not to share! It all started with a little friendly competition between our student activities team and the professors here at Hope. Our school puts on a carnival type event each year for local families on Halloween night called Happy House. This event always calls for a lot of volunteers and more importantly, a ton of candy! Student Activities goal was to have 1,000 pounds of candy donated for Happy House. With only four more days till Halloween, the goal had still not been reached. After receiving a little help from faculty and students, the goal was finally reached in time. It's safe to say that the students were more than excited to see some of their favorite professors dressed up!

P.S. Happy House was a complete success. Thanks SA and other volunteers for all of your hard work!
