Not only did I go to the Office of Career and Professional Development for help on a professional resume, but everyone in that office was always open and willing to help with any questions or concerns I had. ”

Most impactful mentor at HPU: “My most impactful mentor would have to be Britt Carl. She was my freshman success coach and definitely helped me decide on my major in exercise science. Every time I see her, I still make sure to say hi and she is always happy to hear about everything going on in my life and give me advice.”
