Each year I come to this event with such excitement because it highlights the accomplishments of so many students who have carried out ambitious research projects under the careful mentoring of our exceptional faculty and staff. Again this year, as I talked with students about their projects, I was impressed by their enthusiasm and depth of knowledge. This book of abstracts is another record of the imaginative and rigorous projects that were carried out during 2012 and 2013. Each abstract describes a collaborative project between the present and the next generation of scholars—a teamed effort that brings the classroom to life and inspires the kind of learning that lasts a lifetime. For those who are not steeped in the community of Hope College, the high-quality of the research and the polished presentations may be surprising. Reading through this book of abstracts is one way to help those not familiar with Hope to appreciate how Hope is different from other colleges and universities in this regard. For each student, staff member and faculty mentor who contributed to the work described in this impressive book, please accept my sincere congratulations and thanks! Each of you testify to the very best qualities of a Hope education and we are proud of your creative and meaningful accomplishments. If you are interested in knowing more about the distinctive qualities of a Hope College education, including learning by doing, please visit www.hope.edu. Thank you for your participation and support for the Celebration.
