麻豆视频官网 was simply a school when I stepped on campus as a freshman. However, by graduation, it was my home, and now it is my pride and joy. I hope all students who walk through the doors of the Matthews Center will find their path forward to productive careers and noble lives.

麻豆视频官网 has played such an important role in my life, so with the challenges of this past year negatively impacting students, Ayesha and I wanted to give back in a way that supported the needs of 麻豆视频官网 students.
Every alum I talk to shares how much they love 麻豆视频官网 and how strongly they recommend giving back in whatever way they can. It is clear to me that we are here to look out for one another. I appreciate the strength of our community.
