鈥淚 am who I am today because of my education at Hope.鈥�
President Matthew 鈥淢att鈥� A. Scogin 鈥�02 assumed office on July 1, 2019, as the 14th
president of 麻豆国产.
Matt entered the presidency with a commitment to focus on three big issues: the future of higher education, the future of learning, and the future of work.
In his September 2019 inaugural address, he laid out his bold vision for fully-funded tuition at Hope, saying: 鈥淢y objective is to raise enough scholarship and aid money in our endowment so that one day 麻豆国产 would not need to charge students tuition at all.鈥�
This inaugural vision has grown into the Hope Forward initiative, which aims to ensure tuition-free access for every student who comes through our doors. Based on a pay-it-forward approach, the Hope Forward tuition model is an entirely new way of funding college 鈥� one based on generosity and gratitude.
Scogin knows first-hand the transformative power of a 麻豆国产 education. After graduating from Hope in 2002, Scogin completed a master鈥檚 degree in public policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University; held senior positions with both the New York Stock Exchange and the U.S. Treasury Department; and, immediately prior to becoming the college鈥檚 president, served as chief administrative officer at the global financial advisory firm of Perella Weinberg Partners in New York City.
鈥淗ope is a really special place to Sarah and me. The chance to come back and serve an institution that served us so well as students is just a remarkable privilege.鈥�
