FRESHMAN YEAR
Life Lessons in Leadership Across thousands of stages and in front of top executives, Dr. Nido Qubein has shared his life lessons as a successful businessman, international speaker and generous philanthropist. Perhaps the stage where he feels most compelled to instill the importance of leadership, communication, time management, interpersonal skills and service is the campus of High Point University. The President's Seminars for freshmen and seniors — the first and final chapters of the four-year journey — are meant to prepare students for lives of success and significance.
Participate in campus and community activities to enhance your leadership skills and further define your interests.
Focus on academics and building a strong GPA.
These seminars are one of the unique aspects of HPU, representing Qubein's passion for educating the world’s future leaders, as well as his commitment to engaging with students and being a familiar presence in their lives. As freshmen enter HPU with the opportunity to learn about leadership from one of the best, seniors prepare for graduation by heeding Qubein’s advice on job interviews, launching businesses and preparing to compete on a global platform. Then the transformation from student to successful adult begins.
