Dear HPU Families,<\/p>\n

It is hard to believe your student is finishing this academic year at High Point University! The transition from online back to in-person learning was a big milestone. This journey has included understanding what it means to be a self-advocate, to support the health and wellbeing of the entire campus community, and to continue pursuing educational experiences through the challenges of our “new normal”\u2026 Congratulations to your student for their perseverance and tremendous success this year. We are so proud of them!<\/p>\n

This journey has also been a huge adjustment for families. Congratulations to you as well.<\/p>\n

As our students successfully complete this academic year, they will leave for the summer to pursue professional opportunities and continue their personal growth. Your student will continue to be advised academically and mentored by one of our outstanding faculty members.<\/p>\n

If your student wishes to continue classes or their academic growth over the summer, there are many opportunities for them to complete summer sessions for credit. You can find more information about those opportunities here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The entire campus, including the Experiential Learning Team and the Office of Career and Professional Development, will stay connected to our students this summer through virtual meetings and programming opportunities to keep our students engaged with us and with each other. We miss the daily interactions with our students, and we are beyond excited to see them again in August. We truly cannot wait to welcome them back home to HPU!<\/p>\n

For our graduating class of 2021, we will miss having them on campus but know they are going to accomplish big things and will always be a part of the HPU family. We can\u2019t wait to see their futures play out. If your student has already secured their next step following graduation, encourage them to share their exciting career or graduate school news here.<\/a><\/p>\n

It has been a joy, honor and privilege to work with your student during this unprecedented time. Thank you for trusting us with their care and wellbeing. We look forward to welcoming our students back home to campus soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go Panthers!<\/p>\n
