    Director, Hilltop Scholars Program
    Teaching Associate Professor English | Writing & Reasoning

    Marta Krogh has taught in the Writing and Reasoning department since 2007, and she hopes that students will leave her class being more confident writers and critical thinkers.  Serving in several Administrative roles, Marta acted as the Director of the New Century Scholars Program from 2010-2014.  Currently she is the Director of the Hilltop Scholars Program, a first-year honors program for students interested in leadership and community service. Marta teaches writing courses for Hilltop Scholars, and she loves working with the HSP students as they are some of the most engaged students at SMU.  She has a PhD in English, with a focus on American Literature.
