The Great Resignation was born out of a pandemic that saw employees leave their jobs en masse in search of more autonomy, higher pay, and new lines of work. Unfortunately, even as places of work and education are opening their doors again, not everyone is eager to walk back through them.

It was the mentality I had that was put into words.

“Why Hope?” A common question throughout my last four years. My answer always danced between a number of responses: a flood of unsolicited Hope propaganda from extended family, a phenomenal admissions rep, or Hope’s Christian-based education. Although all of those answers are true, none of them encapsulate the root of my decision to come to Hope. “I wanted so badly to be excited about my next phase of life, but instead I was so sad to leave the hometown I loved.” The trut

Blogs. 2 emerging law school recruitment challenges – and how to address them. In the last 20 years, law school enrollment has been anything but consistent. In just a five-year period, from 2010 to 2015, the number of first-year law students decreased by more than 29%. Then, from 2015 to 2020, the number of first-year law students increased by 3%. And in 2021 – due in part to the pandemic, political shifts, and LSAT exam delivery changes – law school enrollment and median LSAT scores spiked.
