Strong candidates will demonstrate robust accomplishments in the creation, scholarship and teaching of Art/Art Education, some previous academic leadership at the college or university level, and a commitment to the liberal arts in the context of the historic Christian faith.
The Associate or Full Professor of Art/Art Education will lead a department of nationally and internationally recognized studio artists, primarily in painting, sculpture, and drawing and design; a core of well-regarded art historians, particularly in early-, early-modern, and modern European art; and a department with a longstanding tradition of excellence associated with some of the most accomplished American designers. The Chair of Art & Art History will work in collaboration with the Founding Director of the Kruizenga Art Museum, which will open to the public in the fall of 2015. Along with the Kruizenga and the Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts, which will also open in 2015, the new arts corridor includes the De Pree Center, which has long housed a gallery for avant-garde and student art, as well as work by the art department faculty.

But at Hope, more than anywhere else, students mention how much their professors care about them as people, not just as mini academics."
The arts have been foundational to Hope College's identity. Hope was the first private, four-year undergraduate liberal arts college in the United States with national accreditation in art, dance, music and theatre, and remains one of few such schools to hold the distinction today. The Art Department is also one of the few such programs with majors in Studio, Art History, and Art Education.
At Hope College, our faculty adhere to the highest standards of teaching, scholarship, and artistic production and actively work to fully involve students in the educational experience. We embrace an institutional core liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and educating the entire person – mind, body, and spirit.

Top 50 Countdown: No. 9 Oklahoma
Breaking down the offense
Overview: Oklahoma must replace the production of All-American and first-round draft pick Adrian Peterson, but the bigger concern around Norman involves the quarterback situation. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops still hasn't decided whether to hand the job to junior Joey Halzle, redshirt freshman Sam Bradford or true freshman Keith Nichol. Oklahoma had an uncertain quarterback situation last year and still won the Big 12. Can the Sooners do it two consecutive years?
Most overrated: FB Matt Clapp: Rated as the No. 6 fullback in the 2005 recruiting class by Rivals.com, Clapp has struggled to earn playing time while battling injuries. The junior still has time to make an impression, but he needs to stay healthy for a full season.
Most underrated: OG George "Duke" Robinson: Well, he isn't underrated by us. Rivals.com listed Robinson as a third-team All-American last year. Now everyone else needs to take note of this exceptional blocker. Robinson wasn't a first-team or second-team All-Big 12 selection last year despite having an outstanding season with 108 knockdown blocks. If he keeps improving in his junior year, Robinson should get some overdue praise.
Must step up: WR Juaquin Iglesias: Oklahoma would love to have a second receiving threat to take some of the pressure off Kelly. Iglesias showed flashes of his potential last year by collecting six receptions for 120 yards in the Fiesta Bowl after Kelly got hurt, but he also had four games in which he caught only one pass. If Iglesias develops some consistency this fall, it could boost the Sooners' passing attack.
Shoes to fill: RB Allen Patrick, RB Chris Brown and RB DeMarco Murray: Patrick already proved he's capable of doing this job by rushing for 440 yards in the first three games after Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone. Now that Peterson is gone for good to the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, Patrick must prove he's ready to carry the load for a full season. He should get plenty of competition from Brown and Murray, who both played extremely well in spring practice.
Position battle: Quarterback: Former junior college player Joey Halzle is competing with redshirt freshman Sam Bradford and true freshman Keith Nichol for the right to replace Paul Thompson. Halzle and Bradford have a year of experience in the system, but Nichol is a former four-star prospect with the greatest upside of the trio.
Impact newcomer: RB DeMarco Murray: This redshirt freshman had the look of a future star in spring practice and rushed for 103 yards on only four carries in the Red & White Game. That type of performance should have Oklahoma coaches searching for different ways to get the ball in his hands.
New in 2007: The departure of Peterson could cause Oklahoma to rely more on multiple backs instead of having one guy carry the ball 25-30 times a game. The Sooners could use more two-back formations and also might have versatile backs such as Murray going in motion or lining up in the slot.
Grade the units:
QB: C. The lack of experience here is the main stumbling block in Oklahoma's national-title hopes.
RB: A-minus. Even without Peterson, the Sooners have a wealth of talented runners.
WR/TE: B-plus. Kelly is one of the nation's top wideouts, though the Sooners need more contributions from the rest of the receiving corps. Joe Jon Finley and Jermaine Gresham give Oklahoma a nice one-two punch at tight end.
OL: A. Oklahoma is counting on junior college transfer Phil Loadholt to step in for Chris Messner at left tackle, but the Sooners have plenty of experience and depth elsewhere on the line.
Breaking down the defense
Overview: CB Reggie Smith leads a talented secondary that will have to compensate for Oklahoma's inexperience elsewhere on defense. The Sooners must replace first-team All-Big 12 performers C.J. Ah You, Larry Birdine and Rufus Alexander from their front seven.
Best player: CB Reggie Smith: Smith's ability to fill multiple roles has helped him develop into one of Oklahoma's most valuable players. Smith started three games at cornerback last year and spent the rest of the season at strong safety. He collected three interceptions and returned one for a touchdown on his way to earning All-Big 12 honors. The Sooners are planning to capitalize on Smith's versatility by moving him back to cornerback this year. He also is the Sooners' main punt returner.
Most underrated: CB Marcus Walker: Smith justifiably garners the majority of the praise surrounding Oklahoma's secondary, but Walker quietly has also emerged as a solid performer. Even though he didn't move into the starting lineup until the fourth game of the season last year, Walker still picked off three passes and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors. The guy who almost ended up as the Fiesta Bowl hero (he returned a 33-yard interception for a go-ahead touchdown shortly before Boise State's stunning comeback) could emerge as a first-team all-conference player if he continues his rapid rate of improvement.
Must step up: SS D.J. Wolfe: This former running back now must make another position switch. After playing cornerback the last two years, Wolfe is shifting to strong safety. The Sooners need Wolfe to succeed at strong safety because it would allow Smith to play cornerback, his more natural position. Smith probably would move back to strong safety if the Wolfe experiment doesn't work.
Shoes to fill: LB Curtis Lofton: The Sooners are counting on this junior to provide some of the production that was lost when Alexander completed his senior year. Lofton's position this fall depends on the development of junior-college transfer Mike Reed. If Reed wins the starting job at middle linebacker, Lofton will replace Alexander at the weak-side spot. If Reed isn't ready to crack the starting lineup, Lofton will man the middle.
Impact newcomer: LB Mike Reed: Rated as No. 2 junior college prospect in the country by Rivals.com, the hard-hitting Reed could immediately take over as the Sooners' starting middle linebacker.
Position battle to watch: Defensive end: The Sooners must find someone to rush the passer now that Ah You and Birdine have departed. Senior Alonzo Dotson is the probable starter at one spot, but the other job remains unsettled. Senior John Williams is trying to hold off a challenge from sophomore Auston English.
New in 2007: The Sooners are trying to get more athleticism at strong-side linebacker so they can use that position more often in passing situations. The probable starter at that spot is senior Lewis Baker or sophomore Ryan Reynolds.
Grade the units:
DL: B. Oklahoma lost a pair of all-conference defensive ends, but the Sooners still have plenty of talent here. This may be the year former five-star prospects DeMarcus Granger and Gerald McCoy develop into standout tackles.
LB: B-minus. Oklahoma could miss Alexander and Zach Latimer quite a bit if Reed and other untested players don't step forward.
DB: A. Smith, Walker and Lendy Holmes could give the Sooners one of the nation's top cornerback trios.
Breaking down the special teams
Overview: Oklahoma welcomes back Rivals.com second-team All-America kicker Garrett Hartley as well as punters Michael Cohen and Mike Knall. Smith also returns as the Sooners' main punt returner.
Grade the units:
K: A. Hartley enters his final year as one of the favorites to win the Groza Award.
P: B-plus. Oklahoma used a two-punter system last year with Cohen handling the long punts and Knall taking care of the pooch attempts. Both players are back this year.
KR: B. Iglesias averaged 25.9 yards per attempt and scored on one return last year. Murray and Patrick also could return kicks this fall.
PR: B. Smith averaged 7.8 yards per return with one touchdown last year.
Breaking down the coaching
Overview: Even after the NCAA's decision that Oklahoma must vacate eight wins from its 2005 season, Bob Stoops still owns a 78-19 record during his eight-year tenure. His willingness to call any play at any time � along with his reputation for producing NFL talent � has helped make him one of the nation's most respected coaches.
Grade the coaches:
Head coach: A: Stoops may have done his best coaching job last year by winning a Big 12 title after losing quarterback Rhett Bomar in the offseason and Peterson for much of the regular season.
Offensive coaches: A-minus: Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson deserves plenty of credit for helping Oklahoma survive the uncertainty at quarterback last year. He faces a similar situation this year.
Defensive coaches: B: Oklahoma led the Big 12 in total defense last year, but the Sooners weren't quite as dominant as expected on this side of the ball. Defensive coordinator Brent Venables still was one of five finalists for the Broyles Award that goes to the nation's top assistant coach.
Special teams coaches: A: Co-offensive coordinator Kevin Sumlin also coordinates the special teams and has built a unit that has excelled in kick coverage.
