I transferred to HPU in Fall 2008. Back then, I saw HPU flyers on the wall of my college. HPU sounded appealing to me, so I did some additional research on International Student Scholarships offered at HPU:I was choosing carefully, as I wanted an institution with great academics.
International Holiday Bazaar
In celebration of the holidays, the International Student Services department invites you to participate in HPU's 8th Annual International Holiday Bazaar. On this day, Fort Street Mall will transform into a marketplace of booths, exhibiting cultural and ethnic Holiday traditions from around the world. Displays should be creative and interactive to draw the attention of the public and the HPU community.
International Holiday Bazaar 2012: Friday, November 30th, 2012, from 10:00 AM- 02:00 PM at Upper Fort Street Mall.
Participation Forms will be due on Monday, November 5th, 2012 by 5PM.
