His pained look belies his usual\u00a0cheery, charismatic demeanor.\u00a0The 64-year-old president of High Point University, a small\u00a0private liberal arts college 90 minutes north of Charlotte, N.C.,\u00a0is upset that open house is occurring and\u2014because of the sheer\u00a0number of requests\u2014the school can\u2019t accommodate all of the\u00a0parents and students who want to tour his beautiful campus.\u00a0It\u2019s the same as turning away customers, says the man who\u00a0sits on the board of big-name companies such as La-Z-Boy and\u00a0BB&amp;T, \u201cand I hate doing that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The intense interest in HPU results from the transformation that\u2019s taken place since Qubein (pronounced coo-BANE)\u00a0became president of the university in 2005. Since then, the\u00a0once-quiet Methodist college in the middle of High Point, N.C.,\u00a0a furniture industry-focused town, has become a gleaming,\u00a0bustling institution of higher education that has to turn students\u00a0away. \u201cSome private universities today are struggling, but we\u2019re\u00a0thriving,\u201d Qubein says. And people are taking notice.\u00a0The school\u2019s about-face happened a lot sooner than anyone,\u00a0including the president himself, had planned or expected.\u00a0\u201cThings started happening almost immediately when Dr.\u00a0Qubein got here,\u201d says Chris Dudley, High Point\u2019s vice president and chief of staff. \u201cHe is a visionary leader, and his level of\u00a0passion for this work is unparalleled.\u201d\u00a0As a result, since 2005 HPU enrollment has swelled from\u00a01,624 traditional undergraduates to 3,673<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/president\/files\/2012\/10\/success-magazine-sept-2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Story<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excerpt From:\u00a0Making the Grade How Nido Qubein turned a little-known liberal arts college into one of the nation\u2019s top-ranked private schools.
