The president wants us to find meaning in our own lives and the lives of others. I left his seminar each week feeling like I could conquer the world with the lessons I learned and the tools President Qubein gave me to share those lessons.
I still remember a lesson from President Qubein’s First-Year Seminar on Life Skills about walking with intention. That day, President Qubein humorously demonstrated walking with and without direction or intention, and the essence of his caricature is something I still think about.

Pay attention during the President’s First-Year Seminar on Life Skills. I find myself missing sitting in Hayworth listening to lessons and stories that still impact and resonate with me today. The lessons from that class are invaluable.
Students need to hear someone say, “You can do this.” They need to believe they can be extraordinary. And being extraordinary is a choice anyone can make for themselves. - HPU President Nido Qubein EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE | 19
