Thanks, Alex. Hi everyone, your college experience extends beyond academics. HPU cares about you and that means your health and wellness both in and out of the classroom.

After a hard day's work, treat yourself to a campus spa day because here you can really do it on campus. You can find your zen and your fun daily. You can get your sweat on in our spin studio, get your nails done, enjoy movie and arcade nights, spend time at one of our seven pools or relax by fire pits.

As a certified fitness instructor on campus, I teach classes in yoga and step cardio. Our rec services offer 40 plus weekly classes in cycling, dance, muscle conditioning and so much more, all led by students.

For self-care you can go to the campus hair or nail salon at Panther Commons, one of our three student centers. Each center offers dining, fitness centers and plenty of ways to relax all on campus.

Each year is filled with fun events like our student concert where we've had artists like Flo Rida, T Payne, Jay Cole, Jason Derulo and more. There are so many other events just like that for you to have fun and make new memories and you can't get that anywhere else.

Intense academics are balanced with ample opportunities to help you unwind and take care of your physical and mental well-being. Freshman year can be overwhelming with new workloads and social adjustments, but HPU helps ease the transition.

You'll have a success coach to guide you and help with class choices, major selection and campus connections. They'll assist you in finding clubs, events and ways to meet new people.

HPU values both classroom learning and time outside of it, which allows you to learn, live and love your college experience. Back to you, Alex.

Wow, Kendall, that sounds amazing! It's so important to have a balanced lifestyle in college. Transitioning into college is a huge step and it's great to know HPU has systems in place to make it easier for you. Thanks again, Kendall!
