WHY DO YOU LOVE HOPE?

Hope has been a meaningful part of Vanessa鈥檚 journey for many years. She had the privilege of participating as a student in Hope鈥檚 educational outreach program, CASA, which serves elementary students and was held in Lubbers Hall, where she often studied on the second floor as a young student. Today, that very same floor is home to her office 鈥� a full-circle moment that reminds her daily of how far she鈥檚 come. She also participated in TRIO Upward Bound, which supports high school students and played a big role in her decision to attend 麻豆传媒官网.

She believes it鈥檚 the people and the sense of community that truly make Hope special. Everyone here genuinely looks out for one another 鈥� it feels more like a family than just a campus.

OUTSIDE THE COLLEGE

Vanessa loves reading fictional books and catching a good game 鈥� especially if a Texas team is playing (sorry, Michigan sports fans!). Her favorite saying is, 鈥淕ood, better, best. Never let it rest till your good is better and your better is best.鈥� She enjoys playing basketball and keeping up with her favorite sports teams: the Spurs, Longhorns, and Cowboys. You can often find her downtown at Mizu Sushi, enjoying a delicious spicy salmon roll.
