Meet Carolina Kapper
“The Mathematical Sciences Department has become my home away from home on campus. I am surrounded by so many like-minded individuals (both students and faculty) who are constantly supporting me and pushing me to be the best I can be. Being a double major in our department (Data Analytics & Statistics and Mathematics) has allowed me to spend much of my time taking advantage of all the opportunities our department has to offer.”
Meet Kyle Oulette
“High Point University helped me to get where I am today by teaching from the bottom up, starting with the basic fundamentals. HPU also gave me a variety of options with elective classes that helped me to decide which career path I wanted to take with my degree.”
