01 / The opportunity

You know the campus.
Let’s build something here.

We’re bringing together a small, selected crew of Hope students to help write Leon’s next chapter on campus. Bring your people, your perspective, and the ideas only someone here would have.

We’re looking for different kinds of influence: the connector, the creator, the person who makes things happen. Curiosity and follow-through belong here.

02 / What you’ll do

Wear it. Make it yours.

Help shape the first chapter

Wear Leon.

04 / The commitment

Small crew.
Real involvement.

First, the basics

Tell us a little about yourself and the people, groups, or places you spend time with.

A tradition, a group, a place, an overlooked moment. You know the campus.

One idea for content or a campus moment. It doesn’t need to be fully worked out.

Creating, connecting, organizing, spotting ideas—or something we haven’t thought of.

Optional: share a name and why they come to mind. Leon can reach out with a personal invitation. Please keep this application link for yourself.

Your answers will be sent securely through Formspree for application review. Please don’t include sensitive information.
