The new book by historian Dr. Robert P. Swierenga about the Rev. Dr. Albertus C. Van Raalte draws upon information never before available, leading to what has been described as “the definitive biography” of the founder of Holland and co-founder of Hope College.
This year’s Hispanic Heritage Month Lecture at Hope College will feature the documentary “First Voice Generation” on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at 6 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theatre.
The Van Raalte Institute and Hope College have honored Dr. Jacob and Leona Nyenhuis for their many decades of scholarship and service with the addition of their names to the Theil Research Center, home of the Van Raalte Institute since 2004.
