When I look back at my time at Hope, I know I will always treasure spending the past four Octobers participating in the Nykerk Cup Competition. This tradition has been nothing short of magical. I was a part of Even Year Song as an underclassman, and was honored to serve as the 85th Nykerk General Chair this past fall. I learned so much from Rachel, Ellen, Katelyn, and the rest of our stellar committees about how to lead with grace and kindness, and am thankful to Nykerk for teaching me to believe in myself and to share that newfound confidence with others. Nykerk has given me some of my best friends, and it was a joy to be able to give back in such a special way.
