I\u2019m proud to lead High Point University, the Premier Life Skills University, where academic innovation drives the transformational development process of our students. \u2013 HPU President Nido R. Qubein<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
At HPU, students are also mentored by a long list of accomplished leaders, including Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak, HPU\u2019s Innovator in Residence; Netflix Co-founder Marc Randolph, HPU\u2019s Entrepreneur in Residence; Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall, HPU\u2019s Sports Executive in Residence; and many others. View this continually growing list at www.highpoint.edu\/innovators. We provide impactful mentors to guide students not only in their four years on campus but throughout their lives. Students don\u2019t merely enroll at HPU; they join our HPU family.<\/p>\n
Experiences That Create Context<\/h5>\n
On our campus, we want students to not only be knowledgeable with content, we also want them to be confident with context. That is why, in addition to classrooms on campus, you\u2019ll also find boardrooms, learning labs and collaborative spaces. College degrees can be obtained from thousands of good schools based on knowledge of content. But High Point University students graduate with more \u2014 a premier life skills education. We want students prepared to navigate the real-world environment with knowledge of course, but also with the confidence that comes from competence. And competence comes from experience. In a competitive marketplace, life skills, which are learned and earned through experience, are difference makers. That\u2019s why High Point University is The Premier Life Skills University. Students receive an extraordinary classroom education in tandem with experiences that can be applied to their future careers. HPU students graduate prepared to work in a world where they will have to communicate with others different from themselves, solve complex problems and adapt amidst rapid change. After all, they\u2019ve been transformed on a campus that embraces transformation. That\u2019s why 97% of HPU graduates begin careers or continue their education within six months of graduation, 11 points higher than the national average. I\u2019m so proud to lead High Point University, where academic innovation is apparent in the programs, people and experiences we offer to provide a well-rounded education that puts students at the center of all that we do. I encourage you to visit campus to witness all that HPU has to offer.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
