"You are called to see the face of Jesus Christ in those you work with, those you live next door to, those you interact with. You’re called to be a peacemaker. You’re called to do things differently. You are called to be a People of Hope." - Dr. Lauren Hearit Prior to Dr. Hearit's Commencement address, she was announced as recipient of the 2025 Hope Outstanding Professor Educator (H.O.P.E.) Award. #Hope2025
