Drumheller’s little college that could is on the move.
Hope College, which until this year has been using the former location of St. Anthony’s school at 420 12 street east, will be moving to the Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle (EPT) building which is the former Central School at 245 3 street west.
On Friday, August 21 the Hope College board members had a meeting and passed a motion to move the college to the EPT building and use some of the classrooms on the third floor as well as the Drumheller Youth Centre, the theatre that is set up to project movies or lectures, and have use of the computer lab.
Hope College chair Paul Andrew said the move will allow for students to use the youth centre space between classes as a place to study and socialize with other students. He also said that having access to the theatre space would allow for students to give presentations on a large screen and having use of the computer lab will also allow for students to complete assignments in their time between classes as well as work on group assignments if needed.
Student orientation will take place on Tuesday, September 8 with classes beginning on Wednesday, September 9.
Hope College offers programs in Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Tourism, Exercise and Wellness, Nutrition, Personal Training and Massage Therapy. The classes are offered in both the daytime and evening.
The college also offers the option of taking courses of special interest without taking the entire program.
