It has been over a month since Hope College’s Catalyst Summit with Malcolm Gladwell
to explore a future where higher education is built on an entirely new funding model.
With the benefit of some time to reflect on the thought-provoking content presented
by our dynamic speakers, here are four things President Matt Scogin is thinking about. Bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell hosted a dynamic keynote presentation at Hope
College that provided an energizing exploration of how to improve access to college. Hope College has been recognized for sustainability excellence by the West Michigan
Sustainable Business Forum. Hope College has received the 2022 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED)
Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused
publication in higher education. The new Vita Scholars Program will enable students to graduate both from Hope with
a Bachelor of Arts degree and from the seminary with a Master of Divinity degree after
a total of five years instead of the usual seven. Hope College has announced the “Anchored Tuition Pledge,” committing to hold tuition
at the starting rate for each incoming class beginning with the fall 2022 semester
— and to keep it at the present level for all current students. The college’s new Hope Forward initiative seeks to fully fund tuition for every student
up front. While that’s the most tangible goal, it’s only one of several.
