Highlander Connections (HSX)

We are excited to welcome you into our Highlander community and to launch our 2024 Highlander Summer Connections (HSX) program. The HSX program is designed to build community for the coming school year, connecting new students with each other and with returning students, through a variety of virtual and in-person events.

In our HSX program, new students have the opportunity to interact with returning and other new students in small groups. Through these group connections, we aspire for our new Highlanders to begin feeling rooted in our community, more informed about what lies ahead, and ready to start the school year with confidence! Scheduled events will require about an hour of your time. We will host these events on Zoom along with two in-person events on campus.
