Dear Parents,
President Qubein reminded HPU’s 2016 graduates this past weekend that average is out, and excellence is in (see highlights from his senior sendoff speech here). Condoleezza Rice, the nation’s 66th Secretary of State, also inspired students with her challenge to lead a life that embraces optimism (see highlights here).
As our graduates begin careers and enter graduate programs, HPU undergraduates begin internships and other experiential learning offerings.
The Class of 2016
Our largest graduating class leaves their campus eager to make the world a better place. Below, you’ll appreciate merely a few examples of our graduates entering esteemed graduate school programs or beginning employment with impressive organizations. These graduates, like so many of their peers, are establishing their own pathways toward a life of both success and significance.
Current Students
Internships are an essential career-building experience for HPU students. Many are already working as interns at companies including Amazon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Seventeen Magazine, the ACC, Chick-Fil-A Corporation, Yelp, Paramount Studios, Bloomberg, Fifth Third Bank, Vanguard, Nielsen, American Diabetes Association, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and many more.
The Class of 2020
In August, we will welcome an energetic and talented freshman class eager to experience our values-based learning environment. As summer arrives, many high school juniors and seniors begin to visit colleges. Please encourage your friends and family members who are seeking a transformational college experience to visit High Point University. Campus visits may be scheduled here. Parent advocacy plays an essential role in the continued development of our institution that has transformed lives since its founding in 1924.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
Roger Clodfelter
Senior Vice President for Communications
