High Point University students give their time and talents and learn that life is equal parts success and significance. They are fueled by a pay-it-forward mindset that not only benefits both the local community and national organizations but also their own life as they graduate and stand out in a sea of others.
Every year, incoming freshmen are encouraged to bring their favorite childhood books during HPU’s Welcome Week at the start of the fall semester. More than 6,000 books have been donated to local schools since 2016. Freshmen also get to participate in the famous tradition of bike building during their first week on campus. Over 5,000 bicycles have been built by students, faculty and staff and donated to children in the local community since 2018.
These HPU parents and alumni express their appreciation for High Point University and the values they stand by, including the importance of community service.
