To be a great person, walk hand-in-hand and side-by-side with great people.
That’s a lesson HPU President Dr. Nido Qubein learned from his mother. He shares this mindset with others on campus and has woven it into HPU’s culture. At HPU, faculty and staff understand that they serve as heroes, models and mentors to students. They live, students watch, and students learn. Students see a member of the Campus Enhancement team work with care and diligence to clear every sidewalk of snow. They receive a hug and an open ear from the cafeteria worker with whom they develop a bond. They see leaders walking across campus, engaging with students and pausing to pick up a stray piece of trash if spotted. Wherever they go on HPU’s campus, students are constantly mentored by dedicated faculty and staff in an environment that inspires them to reach for new heights during their time at HPU and beyond.
AT HPU, MENTORSHIP IS A MINDSET.
As soon as students step foot on campus, they’re embraced by the support system of the university. From the university president, to the Campus Enhancement member fixing a leaky faucet, you won’t find HPU lacking in mentorship. Parents spend 18-plus years instilling values in their children. It’s not enough to simply talk about values to students. In order for the lesson to permeate through a student’s life, values must be continually modeled by those around them. This is why HPU’s entire team of faculty and staff models the values of service, hard work, generosity, gratitude and more in their daily interactions with students.

It’s difficult to express how hard the faculty and staff work to help us grow into the individuals we become by the end of our time at HPU.

Dr. Nguyen has been a great mentor by showing support throughout my master’s program. He consistently reminds us that we have the skills and knowledge for any position in our career. He pushes us to expand our thinking and to continue learning in our profession.

Mr. Randolph is so approachable and honest about the realities of running a startup. It gives me real confidence to have a conversation with him and to stand up in front of him and deliver my best pitch.

Britt Carl and Emily Lyon
Britt, A.K.A. my mom away from home, helped ensure my transition to college life went as smoothly as possible. She was there for me even outside of academic advising. Even though I was assigned a different advisor for my major after freshman year, she stayed in touch.
