Meet Your Counselor

Counselor Name: Jennifer Ross

Advice to prospective students?
For many students, going back to college is a frightening idea; the thought of managing studies and busy lives can be overwhelming. The wonderful thing about SPS is that we expect our students to have busy lives! You will have to make adjustments to your schedule to advance your education, but we try to make that a manageable goal.

Each student I talk to faces a challenge when they talk about finishing their degree, it can be a busy schedule, finances, timing, etc. My advise to each student is to take the time to fully explore your options at Hope. Don't assume it's not possible for you! Every day I have the privilege of working with students who figure out that a degree is an attainable goal.

How do you spend your free time?
Much of my free time is used being involved in a church plant, it provides many opportunities for community outreaches and serving those in need in our community. I also enjoy cooking for friends and family and spending time watching hockey with my husband. I love a good book, a nice restaurant or a quiet night at home.
