What Made You Choose HPU?
"HPU honestly had everything I was looking for. A great school and location to study all things environmental science related, and a sport that made sense to me after 14 years of gymnastics and 2 years of Cheer and STUNT. Academically, athletically, and personally, HPU seemed like the perfect fit for me!"
