O U R C I T Y. O U R U N I V E R S I T Y. WHEN YOU VISIT THE CITY OF HIGH POINT YOU IMMEDIATELY KNOW YOU ARE WELCOMED HERE. The university is celebrated in the Piedmont Triad International Airport when you arrive, and purple HPU flags fly across the city with the “We Heart HPU” signs that businesses proudly display. Through the “Our City. Our University.” program, local businesses in High Point proudly support the university through banners, flags, umbrellas and more that the university supplies. This welcomes the university’s 100,000 annual visitors and helps students feel connected when they frequent their favorite restaurant or retailer and see HPU represented. Nearly 100 local businesses are also “Passport Partners” who accept the HPU Passport Card as payment. This program connects local businesses with a thriving university community. Weekly shopping shuttles also provide free transportation for students to High Point businesses. It all reflects a strong partnership between the university and the city—each supports the other. For more information on High Point, our community and our Passport Partners, visit www.highpoint.edu/community or download the HPU App.
