Hope Cottam '14, Development Specialist

Hope graduated from Villanova in 2014. Though she never expected to return to Villanova after graduating, she has found it to be a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with her alma mater and help grow its community and culture.  Hope attended California State University, Channel Islands, where she obtained a Bachelor in Communications. She began working at Villanova in August of 2019 in the admissions office.  In January 2021, Hope was asked to work with our alumni and development department where she helps continue relationships with donors as well as with alumni.  Hope has found her highlight in development to be speaking with alumni and sharing the similarities and differences in their Villanova experiences, which has helped us increase our legacy attendance at Villanova. When Hope isn’t working she can be found spending time with her sisters, who are both Villanova graduates as well.
