Hope Cognata

Hope is a History, German Studies, and College of Letters major dedicated to unraveling Middletown's local lore and expressing the immediacy of the lessons to be gleaned from the city's past. They take pride in overseeing The Argus' archival materials and find the opportunity to guide others' historical research invaluable. Hope plays their great-grandfather's tenor banjo, the mandolin, and paints outdoors often, with a particular affinity for the majestic mountain landscapes found throughout their home state, Arizona.
