Creating a
community for

2001.

What is it that binds High Point
University as a community?

"Our search for direction as we leave home,
enter a new environment, and seek to find
c:)urselves."

Tim HiKsctt, Big Man
on Campus 2000

"Our sense of pride for our school. We are
such a small schocil that we know each
other more personally and recognize the
familiar faces."

Mandy Hcdgccock

"The Campus activities give pec^ple a
chance to interact with others whom they
don' t normallv see because of their major."

Misti/ Dills

You, the Class of 2001, are a very special class. You
came to High Point eager, enthusiastic and willing to gain
knowledge, which in turn you absorbed and used to nour-
ish your minds. We, the faculty and staff, are so proud of
you and all students High Point University.

During your years as a student here, you have seen
many changes - academic and curriculum changes (We have
been consistently ranked among the top tier of regional
liberal arts colleges.), athletic changes (a full-fledged Divi-
sion I program), changes in our lovely chapel building, a
completely updated and expanded science building, a new
residence hall and the groundbreaking for a beautiful new
fine arts building. You have been a part of all of this, and on
behalf of the University family, I thank you for you gener-
ous and cooperative spirit.

You will soon face new challenges. It will not be
easy to leave the University, but you will be prepared, and
if we wanted life to be easy we should have been born in a
different universe. We are optimistic about your future
because we know you and believe in you. Please remember
that with the help of the Almightly, all things are possible.
We will continue to watch your future with the greatest of
interest.

Best personal regards.

HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY:
A PROFILE

High Point Uni\'ersity, founded in 1924, currently
enrolls nearly 3,000 students in day, evening, and
graduate programs. For six consecutive years, US
NEWS & WORLD REPORT has ranked High Point
Uni\'ersity among the top tier of regional liberal
arts colleges; and in 2000, High Point was ranked
Number One among regional liberal arts colleges
in North Carolina. In addition, on three occasions,
US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT has ranked
High Point among the 20 most efficient senior
colleges and uni\ersities in the nation because it
has achie\'ed quality while keeping costs low. In
1999, High Point Uni\'ersity was one of 100 senior
colleges and uni\'ersities in the United States se-
lected for listing on The Templeton Honor Roll of
Colleges that encourage Character-De\-elopment;
in 1997, the University received the National Stu-
dent Retention Award; and in 1996, the Peterson's
publication Smart Parents Guide to College lauded
the Uni\'ersitv's efforts to inculcate values and to
encourage graduation.

Currently, two thirds of the entering freshmen
come from states other than North Carolina; one-
third, from more than 500 miles away, including
nearly 1 50 students who come from countries other
than the United States. Such diversity makes the
campus a microcosm of the world— an ideal place
for learning to live and work in the global society
of the 21st century.

The Uni\'ersity is clearly a university on the move.
Since 1985, enrollment has more than doubled; the
University has generated more than $41 million in
gifts and grants; the endowment has grown from
$8.7 million to $44.3 million; the number of faculty
has more than doubled; the percentage of faculty
with terminal degrees has grown from 56% to 78%;
and enrollment in the honors program has grown
from 32 students to 156 students. Also, the Univer-
sity has committed $58 million to construction and
renovation, including $28 million for projected
construction— $15 million for the proposed Charles
E. and Pauline Lewis Hayworth Eine Arts Center;
$3 million for the proposed Norton Center for
International Home Eurnishings, and $10 million
for renovations to the University's outdoor ath-
letic facilities. Also, during this period, the Uni\'er-
sity has mo\'ed from N AIA, to NC A A-II, to NC AA-
I. The Uni\'ersity sponsors numerous honor societ-
ies and over 40 clubs and organizations, including
four national fraternities and four national sorori-
ties. More significantly. University students record
more than 25,000 hours of community serxice an-
nually.

TUDENT LIFE

A Week of Fun Among the Colors of Autumn

ALL INVASION

SAB brought to campus the speed and crashes of racing through
virtual NASCAR. This thrilUng, hold-on-to-your seat activity was the
first of many during Fall Invasion. Fun Flicks combined students' best
dance moves with their favorite songs to create an MTV-style music
video. Sponsored by SAB, this was free to anyone outgoing enough to
show off their skills.

The miracles of modern tech-
nology put students in the
spotlight.

Kendria, Ebonv, and Brandy
rock the house with their \ideo.

Not all the \-idoes were MTV
st\ie. Some students made
mini-mo\'ies, complete with
costumes.

Students gather around the
NASCAR simulator to take
their turn at the wheel.

AMILY WEEKEND

The events of Fallapalooza entertained students and family alike as
parents arrived on campus for the annual Family Weekend. Faculty
members were on hand to meet and mingle, and everyone participated
in a wide array of activities. The Tower Players produced "Nunsense"
for the enjoyment of all while the Dance-A-Thon loosened things up a
bit.

FALLAPALOOZA brought
many new acts to HPU. This
style of dancing is called clog-
ging. April White is a proud
member of the squad.

The sisters of Hoboken trv to
raise money to burv the last
four nuns who died from botu-
lism. Several nuns try to sell

thing goes fun. The Tower
Players put on the witty and
outrageous musical for Par-
ents' Weekend.

HOPPING FOR FUN

The Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem served as host to the
National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Southeast Re-
gional Conference. Nine students chosen to represent High Point
University had an opportunity to attend educational sessions and a
live showcase of performers, allowing students an opportunity to
negotiate deals for next semester's Student Activities Board events.

TOP THE HUNGER

The Crop Walk is a national fundraiser to help eliminate hunger in the
United States. The money raised from the 5K walk helps local agencies
combat hunger in the High Point area. Many student organizations fjf
helped with the event: Genesis, Delta Sigma Phi, the Volunteer Center,
Alpha Phi Omega, and Kappa Chi.

Door Shelter in High Point

Sports Medicine

The personnel in\ol\ed in the sports medicine program have
worked hard all year to keep High Point's athletes healthy and
in top physical shape. Like High Point's athletics, the sports
medicine program continues to grow by introducing more and
more students to the field of athletic training. The many hours
that sports medicine majors spend in the classroom and on the
field have enabled them to learn about the prevention, evalua-
tion, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The sports medicine
staff will continue to ensure our athlete's safetv so they can
compete to their maximum le\el.
