2016 Highlights

Dear HPU Family,

High Point University’s Class of 2016 celebrated the weekend with Dr. Condoleezza Rice, the 66th Secretary of State – named one of the nation’s top commencement speakers by USA Today and featured on numerous national media outlets including Fox News, NBC Nightly News, CBS This Morning and many others. More than 10,000 family and friends attended Commencement Weekend, while thousands more watched the graduation ceremony live on the HPU website.

While we will miss the Class of 2016, our graduates and their parents will forever remain important members of the HPU family.
