Kristen Slotman has juggled basketball and academics well for three years. As she moves through her secondary education chemistry and physics programs, she’s taking on more and more teaching and leadership opportunities. We’ve seen her in action teaching nuclear science in the summer STEM academies for the past two summers. This year, she also took on a new role on the basketball team, becoming a student assistant coach for the 2013-2014 season. Learn more in this Holland Sentinel article.

Congratulations to Matt Goupell
Hope Alumnus, Dr. Matt Goupell has received R. Bruce Lindsay Award from the Acoustical Society of America in recognition of his outstanding work in applied acoustics. Matt’s research team in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at the University of Maryland focuses on hearing, in particular how spoken sounds are heard and processed.
Congratulations Matt!
Thanks for 35 years of service and friendship, Kevin Gardner!
After 35 years as the Physics Laboratory Director, Kevin Gardner will retire in December 2013. Kevin started as the laboratory director at Hope before all of the current faculty were here and when VanderWerf Hall was a separate building. Now the building is a part of the “VanderPlex” and he was providing support not only to the Physics Department and the Engineering Department. We hope to see him around the department again next fall, teaching a laboratory section or two while relaxing the rest of the time.
Hopefully he won’t really need to use the clock the Physics and Engineering departments presented to him while he’s enjoying the gulf shores with his wife Cathy this winter! We wish them all the best!
