The HOPE Center exists to support, empower, and enlighten all students about issues of sex, gender, sexual violence, personal safety and health, social justice and educational equity. Our programs and events are designed to foster open discussion and intellectual exchange about these and other issues, to promote an overall sense of well-being, and to create a safe campus climate for all.

The HOPE Center opened in February 2009 with an opening reception on February 17, 2009, from 5:30 pm until 7:00 p.m. As part of the reception, artist (and Lock Haven student) Alice Alexandrescu spoke about her art, members of Lyrically Speaking performed their original works for the attendees, and music was provided by Mike Rinard and Felix Noy.

We hold a variety of events, from film screenings to a Take Back the Night vigil, to increase awareness of social justice for all members of the Lock Haven University community. More about our events, hours of operation, and using the HOPE Center for your own social justice related events can be found by following the links to the left.
