Obama Scholars Hear from President Barack Obama at Obama Foundation Summit

The Obama Foundation Scholars program was recently featured in an article in the Chicago Maroon discussing a conversation between President Barack Obama and Dave Eggers at the Second Annual Obama Foundation Summit.

“I set up this foundation just so I could hang out with cool people like you,” Obama said, according to the article.

Obama Scholar Mario Mazic was in attendance. “I think it’s very valuable to have an opportunity to dedicate some time to actually thinking and planning what I’m going to be later,” he said. “Because what we often miss in civil society is actually the time to sit down and think about the approach.”
