A Message from the Director of Graduate Support

A Message from Ms. Sarah Fox

Director of Graduate Support

At Hope, we often talk about the idea that once you are part of our community, you are always part of our community. Graduate Support is where that promise comes to life.

I have the privilege of watching our students grow from the young people they were when they first walked through Hope's doors into the thoughtful, capable young adults they become. Every student's journey looks different. Some know exactly what they want to pursue, while others take time to discover their interests and strengths. Some experiences are full of celebration, while others come with challenges that require a little extra support. Our role is to meet students wherever they are and walk alongside them.

Graduate Support is here to celebrate the acceptance letters, the graduations, the first jobs, the college milestones, and all of the moments in between. We are also here for the difficult phone calls, the questions about financial aid, the academic challenges, and the moments when a student simply needs someone to remind them that they are capable.

What makes this work so meaningful is that our relationships do not end when students graduate from Hope. They continue to grow. Our alumni will always have a place here. They can come back to mentor a younger student, reconnect with a teacher, share their experiences, or simply walk through the doors and know that they are home.

I am incredibly proud of the young people who make up the Hope alumni community, and I am grateful that I get to continue being part of their journeys.

— Sarah Fox, Director of Graduate Support
