High Point University

TRANSFER STUDENTS I want to congratulate you on your acceptance into my home away from home, High Point University! Our university has given me the best years of my life. Today, I am practicing sports medicine as a primary care sports medicine fellow in Utah, thanks to how HPU profoundly influenced my development and that of my peers.

Everyone is willing to go the extra mile to help us develop the quality Life Skills needed to achieve a life of success and significance. High Point University has a true sense of “we are in this together,” which makes this campus especially unique. Simple things like having lunch with friends, professors, staff members or even with President Qubein are what set this place apart!

From leadership and academic achievement to social engagement, I have truly transformed. At HPU, I conducted undergraduate research alongside my chemistry professor, presented that research at professional conferences, interned at the National Institutes of Health and played soccer. I credit so much of my success to the individual attention you receive from professors in HPU’s small class sizes.

I could spend hours writing about how highly I think of my school.

While graduation was bittersweet, I couldn’t have wished for a better undergraduate experience. I had truly amazing opportunities that I know would not have been offered by any other institution.

High Point University prepared me far beyond what I could have imagined. Come join the HPU family!

High Point University attracts a certain type of student — one who wants to grow not only academically but also personally and socially. By living in this inspiring environment, we become kinder, friendlier and lead a more purposeful life. When I graduated, I left with all of the tools I needed for medical school and also with the attributes to be a good friend, steward and global citizen.

The culture of caring is what led me to choose HPU. There are endless resources on campus that enable students to excel academically and personally, including: peer mentors, Student Success Coaches, career and professional development services, peer tutoring and more! High Point University has a pristine campus and beautiful facilities, but the staff mentors who greet you every day with a smile and the professors who spend their personal time ensuring that you succeed academically are what truly make HPU great.

— Dr. Jenny Kordell HPU, ’17, B.S. Chemistry WVU School of Medicine, ’21, M.D. Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellow in Utah

You deserve to love where you live. That starts with your residence hall. Picture this: You just pulled up to your college dorm with mom and dad. You’re leaving your home, friends and family. You aren’t just carrying plastic bins that are way too heavy from the car to your room. You’re carrying loads of anxiety, too.

Do you want to be greeted by a stuffy old dorm room that adds to that stress?

NO WAY! Your residence hall is where you’ll be living. Your home away from home. At HPU, we understand your environment should reflect the incredible educational journey you’re embarking on.

Greeted with nationally ranked dorms, HPU knows you rise to the level of the environment in which you live.

Meet Your New Squad You’ve spent your entire life at home or at another college, but now you’re deciding where you’re going to live for the rest of your college journey.

Think about this: There are 168 hours in a week. You’ll be in class approximately 20 of those. You’ll be dedicating the rest of your time to joining organizations on campus, conducting undergraduate research, cheering on the HPU Panthers award-winning basketball team, growing through experiential learning opportunities and making friends you’ll keep for the rest of your life.

I used the Office of Career and Professional Development during my first few weeks as a freshman, and I went on the HPU in the City trip in New York City shortly after.

Mentorship Is a Mindset At HPU, students are mentored by dedicated faculty and staff in an environment that inspires them to reach for new heights during their time at HPU and beyond.

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.

HPU students benefit from an ecosystem of mentorship and support. From career advisors to faculty advisors, peer mentors and even club sports (which have their own professional coaches), there is no shortage of opportunities for constructive feedback.

No one in life gets far without the help of others. HPU understands this. That’s why the university has forged a culture where students are surrounded by coaches who care.

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Computer and HPU’s Innovator in Residence (pictured center), is one of many industry leaders who regularly visits campus to mentor HPU students.

“ “

The mentors on HPU’s campus helped me get to where I am now. HPU prepared me for the future and helped me achieve my goals by allowing me to be involved in so many different campus organizations.

I was also encouraged to start a new club for HPU’s hospitality program. The staff in the Office of Career and Professional Development helped me edit my resume and search for internships. It was always easy to visit during drop-in hours or make an appointment with a career advisor.”

-Brooke Baier, ’23 Brands Operations Manager at Marriott International My most impactful mentor at HPU was Larry Quinn, chair of the department of marketing and sales.

After my first sales course with Professor Quinn, I knew that a career in sales was right for me. I joined the sales club, and from that point, Professor Quinn became more than just a professor. Professor Quinn and I are featured in a series together on HPU’s new streaming service HPU+ titled ‘Mentorship Matters’ which highlights how valuable he was to my success.”

-Jake German, ’23 Regional GOLD Coordinator at Continental Tire

Bobby Hayes, chair of the HPU Department of Journalism and Sports Media, served as Wendell Epps’ top mentor during his time at HPU. Epps, ’23, radio graduate associate for Orlando Magic, says professor Hayes challenged him to seek ways to elevate his performance as a sports broadcaster and reporter.

Life Skills Learning Labs Our investment in each student’s success goes much deeper than their discipline — we are committed to equipping students with the Life Skills necessary to be successful in their career and in life’s daily interactions.

HPU’s campus is filled with real-world facilities that further instill Life Skills. For example, 1924 PRIME, Alo and Kazoku, three fine-dining restaurants, allow HPU students to build confidence in professional settings beyond the office and gain international cuisine and culture experience. We use many other common exchanges and interactions to teach the art of persuasion, effective communication and other skills that help HPU students stand out.

Back to TOC

While some universities provide an etiquette class during a student’s senior year, HPU provides students with four years of career preparation inside three different fine-dining restaurants. 1924 PRIME, HPU’s flagship restaurant, Alo, HPU’s boutique hotel restaurant, and Kazoku, HPU’s family-style teppanayaki experience, provide the perfect atmosphere for students to engage in a unique type of learning laboratory.

At 1924 PRIME, students practice their interview skills in a setting where they can develop confidence while at the same time gaining familiarity with international cuisine and culture. Similarly at Alo, students practice interviewing, focus on continental dining style and learn to be comfortable with European dining etiquette and protocol. At Kazoku, students are able to build confidence in professional settings beyond the office and gain international cuisine and culture experience.

Students dine at one of these fine-dining locations once per week, which is included in the HPU dining plan.

When HPU graduates enter the workforce, they not only know how to ace the interview, but they’re also comfortable and confident in various business settings. This prepares them for a lifetime of success. Just picture it: after you accept the job offer, your boss asks you to take an international client to dinner. Or you’re meeting colleagues after work to offer a major proposal.

Accelerated Access to Research At HPU, students are introduced to undergraduate research opportunities from day one.

While many universities reserve research opportunities for upperclassmen or graduate students, HPU students are introduced to undergraduate research opportunities right away. Employers want graduates who can communicate well, be resilient and problem solve. Those are the foundational skills of conducting research. HPU provides research opportunities for students in every major, from being coached by a faculty researcher on campus to landing impressive research experiences for undergraduates (commonly called REUs) through institutions such as the National Science Foundation, Duke University, the American Institute of Physics, Columbia University and others.

Back to TOC

The High Point University Research Rookies Program works to incorporate students into the university’s culture of research and creative work, early in their undergraduate careers. The program is designed to create a community of undergraduate scholars and help build research-related skills to prepare students for faculty collaborative scholarship that makes an original contribution to one’s field. Getting involved in research or creative works in college helps students build unique credentials to distinguish themselves from among the two million other students they will graduate among and compete with for jobs or entrance into graduate and professional schools!

Values-Based Living and Learning You’ll first notice it when you drive onto campus.

A security officer smiling to greet you. A professor stooping down to pick up a stray piece of trash along the Kester International Promenade. The President of HPU waving as you walk to class. A student holding the door for you.

Those gestures happen every day on the campus of High Point University. While seemingly insignificant, they make a big impact.

Many schools forget that the most important aspect of your life is the values on which you stand. HPU’s campus is designed to inspire and we proudly celebrate faith, gratitude, patriotism, generosity, civility and more. As HPU President Nido Qubein often reminds faculty and staff, “You can’t teach values. Instead, we must model a values-based approach to life. Students watch, they listen and they learn.”

Faculty and staff model the values of service, joy, generosity, gratitude and respect because they know that students are paying attention to the actions of those around them.
