Hope College is excited to take part in the eighth annual NCAA Division III Week that runs through Sunday, April 7.
Division III Week is a positive, broad-based opportunity for all individuals associated with NCAA Division III to observe and celebrate the impact of athletics and of student-athletes on the campus and surrounding community.
During the week, every Division III school and conference office is encouraged to conduct a type of outreach activity that falls into one of three categories: academic accomplishment; athletic experience; or leadership/community service/campus involvement.
