Dear Parents,<\/p>\n

Each month we bring you this Parent Perspective Newsletter for two simple reasons: to inform and inspire.<\/p>\n

Inform<\/strong> \u2013 There are hundreds of services, programs, and resources available to your student \u2013 all contributing to successful outcomes (click here to see the story from Career and Professional Development with the 6 Tips to Maximize Your Student’s Internship Experience<\/a>).\u00a0 Each month we\u2019ll provide relevant content and insights from our talented HPU faculty and staff.\u00a0 As your partner, we understand that students who are surrounded by an informed support network are poised to thrive.<\/p>\n

Inspire<\/strong> \u2013 At High Point University, our culture is built on values – the value of generosity, service, hard-work, gratitude and more.\u00a0 Here, students are surrounded by inspiring men and women \u2013 faculty, staff, and fellow classmates.\u00a0 So each month, we highlight the wonderful work of the HPU family (click her<\/a>e<\/a> or see story below on graduate Hannah Bailey, a Fulbright Scholar).<\/p>\n

We enthusiastically celebrate the academic accomplishments, thoughtful contributions and acts of kindness that our faculty, staff and students create every day \u2013 it\u2019s part of what makes High Point University so special.<\/p>\n

We hope the monthly Parent Perspective serves as a valuable and informative tool. Before you arrive in August check out our Welcome Week website <\/a>for all of the move-in details. You can also keep in touch on a daily basis by\u00a0following us on our Parents and Families\u00a0Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n
