Sydney Sullivan always wanted to help.
So, as the vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion with the Student Government Association, she drafted a five-year plan that would help High Point University recruit and keep more students of color. She researched, talked with students, staff and faculty and came up with Initiative 2025.
She showed it to Dr. Doug Hall, HPU’s assistant vice president for diversity and inclusion, and Terry Chavis, director of multicultural affairs. Together, they and other student leaders presented her plan to HPU President Dr. Nido Qubein.
Sullivan’s work impressed Hall and Qubein. They along with others on campus have been working on those very issues. Yet, when they read what Sullivan came up with, they saw synergy. They also saw the power of what one student can do.

The Weeknd played the world’s most-viewed concert stage on Sunday, delivering a 13-minute set at the Super Bowl that left many viewers scratching their heads.
He tore through his hits such as “Blinding Lights,” “Save Your Tears” and “I Can’t Feel My Face,” sometimes singing with a choir, and sometimes singing and dancing with bandaged performers wearing jockstraps on their heads.
Younger viewers might have appreciated the Canadian singer’s show; some older spectators might have rushed for a second trip to the halftime buffet. What did you think?
