A historic day: A couple weeks ago, the first graduates of our prison education program walked across the commencement stage as the recipients of a full Hope College degree.
It was a beautiful day, filled with HOPE!

Instead of focusing exclusively on the mastery of knowledge, what if college campuses were incubators for hope? What if we taught hope? Tested hope? Measured hope? What if the purpose of college was to create ambassadors of hope?

It was an honor to serve on a panel with the legendary former president of Wake Forest, Nathan Hatch, at the Council of Independent Colleges annual gathering of college presidents this past week. We talked about generosity and Hope’s Character Forward grant.

Students whose parents pay more in tuition earn lower grades. Another reason why a pay-it-forward funding model for higher ed is superior.

Alas, #RevisionistHistory alone won't solve the issues of higher education... but a big idea being tested at a little school on the shores of Lake Michigan might. Reimagine college tuition with @Gladwell & @HopeCollege's @presidentscogin on the new ep!🎓: apple.co/3NRpazX

Thanks @MikeBloomberg. Very proud that @HopeCollege is part of this important initiative @ATI_Talent!
Mike Bloomberg@MikeBloomberg
If we want America to remain the world's greatest meritocracy, a place where the American dream isn't defined by class or color, then educational institutions must lead the way. @ATI_Talent brings together top colleges and universities committed to expanding access for low- and moderate-income students - and it was great to meet with presidents from these schools in NYC.
