Dear Parents,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Summer 2015 may be winding down, but HPU students have been incredibly productive and active in pursuing their dreams and bettering themselves for the future.\u00a0 Meanwhile, we have been busy on campus\u00a0preparing for the 2015-2016 academic year.<\/p>\n

Forty-one new faculty members will be joining our family in a few weeks.\u00a0 These faculty, who are well-qualified and eager to begin the fall semester, represent most all academic disciplines.<\/p>\n

This summer, hundreds of High Point University students have completed challenging, exciting, and rewarding internships all over the world, applying classroom learning to real-world situations. For example,<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Zac Gaetano,<\/span><\/a> from Maryland, takes the controls at Comcast Sports Network.
\n\u2022\u00a0Ashley Angle<\/span><\/a>, from Pennsylvania, practices Hotel Management at Hershey Entertainment and Resorts.
\n\u2022\u00a0Zach Pallis and Chris Kiley<\/span><\/a>, from New Jersey & Massachusetts, intern with entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis.
\n\u2022 Olivia Bruner<\/span><\/a>, from Kentucky, will pursue her Master of Design at the University of Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

In our May term, almost 150 HPU students traveled<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to 17 countries through 11 diverse and interactive programs on 6 continents.\u00a0 New destinations in 2015 included India, Morocco, Portugal and Germany.\u00a0 We are now promoting 15 programs for 2016.\u00a0 New destinations in 2016 will include Costa Rica, Scotland and Australia.<\/p>\n

Nearly\u00a050 students worked with 25 faculty members on campus this summer in a variety of undergraduate research<\/span><\/a>\u00a0projects.\u00a0 Not only did students and faculty conduct research in the traditional sciences, but in areas such as English, Computer Science, Modern Foreign Language, Psychology, and Theatre as well.<\/p>\n

We are excited about the coming academic year and look forward to having all of our students back on campus.\u00a0 We are thankful for your support and partnership.<\/p>\n
