High Point University was fortunate to be named Number 1 – THREE Times – by US News and World Report in their 2014 Best Colleges Report, #1 Regional School in the South, #1 Undergraduate Teaching in the South, and #1 Up and Coming School in the South.
A friend half jokingly remarked to me, “HPU has no where else to go.” To which I replied:
“Achieving your vision doesn’t mean you’ve reached the end of the line. It simply means that you’ve come to a new starting place.”
While we are proud of the recognition by US News, our goal is not to achieve high rankings. Our goal is to positively impact the hearts and minds of the students who choose to attend HPU. Our call to action, “Choose to be extraordinary” by design, has no definitive conclusion. Excellence is to be pursued, not obtained. As you pursue excellence, I invite you to visit our campus. HPU is an extraordinary place. See you soon.
Sincerely,
Nido R. Qubein
President
