I am a Biochemistry major with a Mathematics minor, and Rebecca is an Art Education major with a Spanish minor, and we both love Hope and the Milestone!

This year, we are really hoping to get more student involvement in the yearbook. After all, this book is made by students, for students, so we want to hear from you! What would you like to see in the yearbook? More student bios? More articles? More student quotes? Different event coverage? If you have ideas, we want to hear them! You can comment below, contact us on Facebook, or email us at milestone@hope.edu. We are also still in the process of hiring staff members, so if the yearbook sounds like something you would like to be involved in, let us know, because we would love to have you on staff this year!
