HOPE Giving Circle
What is the HOPE Giving Circle?
The acronym HOPE stands for Helping Others through the Power of Education. The HOPE
Giving Circle brings together influential women of diverse backgrounds with a common
goal of supporting women in achieving their educational goals and empowering them
to reach their full potential. Members combine their resources to make a greater collective
impact on the lives of women pursuing higher education at Harper College. Through
scholarship support, mentoring, professional development opportunities and other means,
the HOPE Giving Circle is committed to creating and enhancing educational and leadership
opportunities for women.
