We are very blessed and thankful.<\/p>\n<p>Because we value your feedback, we invited parents who attended to take a Family Weekend survey. We received overwhelmingly positive responses, as well as many messages of thanks for the life skills and values HPU instills in students. I am not surprised, but I am delighted to see how much our families appreciate HPU\u2019s distinct approach to education.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll appreciate that this month\u2019s Parent Perspective highlights examples of HPU\u2019s commitment to academic innovation and experiential learning. Our students are well-prepared with the ability to communicate with diverse groups of people, work well in teams, stay motivated and adapt amidst constant change. That is reflected in many stories you&#8217;ll see in this month&#8217;s newsletter, including\u00a0HPU&#8217;s record number of Fulbright semifinalists, the exceptional global leaders and CEOs who have visited campus to mentor our students this semester, and the extraordinary accomplishments our students\u00a0have achieved this semester, from performing with Iconic Tenor Andrea Bocelli, to leading a live pregame broadcast before our ESPNU men&#8217;s basketball game, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>HPU\u2019s faculty are not only experts in their disciplines, they\u2019re also caring coaches and mentors focused on connecting meaningful experiences to classroom content to create well-rounded individuals ready to take on the world as it is going to be. Our campus is not only equipped with the finest technology for learning, but also engineered to help your student reach their fullest potential.<\/p>\n<p>Our Office of Career and Professional Development continues offering students several workshops each week. They will also host a Spring Career and Internship Expo on Thursday, March 14, in our Conference Center.<\/p>\n<p>As enrollment continues to grow, so do HPU\u2019s academic programs. That\u2019s why\u00a0HPU receives numerous rankings\u00a0as a top university in the nation. The world has taken notice of HPU\u2019s academic excellence, and as coursework nurtures the mind of your student, HPU\u2019s holistic education extends to nurture their hearts and souls.<\/p>\n<p>Know that we appreciate your continued support and advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nido Qubein<\/p>\n<p>HPU President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parent, This month, we welcomed thousands of families to campus for Spring Family Weekend.
