Campus Visit Recap | HYP Global's Fall 2025 North American University Tour

In mid-to-late October 2025, the HYP Global team completed its third North American campus visit series — spanning both the East and West Coasts of the United States, with in-person visits to University of Delaware (UDel), Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT), Lehigh University, Huntington University (HU), Santa Clara University (SCU), San José State University (SJSU), UC Riverside (UCR), Pepperdine University, and Otis College of Art and Design (OTIS) — nine partner institutions over approximately two weeks.

Team members on this visit: Harry Gong (CEO), Lluvy Wu (University Partnership Manager), and Ivy Zhang (Recruitment Manager, Beijing Office).

Stop 1 · University of Delaware — Lerner College of Business & Economics

Opening the tour at UDel's Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics, the HYP Global team was warmly received by Dean Oliver Yao and his team. Discussions covered a comprehensive review of Fall 2025 enrollment outcomes and an exploration of future partnership opportunities. A full campus tour provided a firsthand look at UDel's academic environment and campus culture.

UDel is a recognized "Public Ivy" located in Delaware — the "Corporate Capital of the World" — and the Lerner College holds dual AACSB accreditation in both business and accounting.

Stop 2 · Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT)

The HYP Global team visited Stevens Institute of Technology — one of the most prestigious private technology universities in the United States, located in Hoboken, New Jersey, just 10–15 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. Discussions focused on how both sides can leverage their respective strengths to create new collaboration opportunities, with a productive exchange on the direction and potential of the international admissions partnership.

Thank you to Amanda Mendez and Joe Huang for the warm welcome and thoughtful arrangements.

Stop 3 · Lehigh University

HYP Global met with admissions representatives from Lehigh's College of Business, P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Graduate School. Discussions focused on Fall 2025 enrollment results, current application trends, market challenges, and strategies for the upcoming recruitment cycle.

Thank you to Sabrina Jedlicka, Mark Snyder, Kevin Ezzell, Allison Toth, and Angelo Lambroschino for the warm hospitality and insightful conversations.

Stop 4 · Huntington University (October 16)

The HYP Global team was warmly welcomed by new President Rob Pepper, Provost and VP of Academic Affairs Luke Fetters, the undergraduate admissions team, and representatives from several academic departments. The visit included direct conversations with current international students and a tour of the Doctoral Program in Occupational Therapy (OTD) clinical training facilities. The visit reaffirmed the shared commitment to deeper collaboration across multiple areas.

Stop 5 · Santa Clara University (October 21)

HYP Global met with representatives from the Leavey School of Business and School of Engineering at SCU. Discussions centered on graduate admissions and experiential learning opportunities, with the SCU team sharing how the university leverages its Silicon Valley location to connect students with innovative companies. The team also toured the engineering school's advanced labs and collaborative learning spaces.

Thank you to Toby McChesney, Dr. Paulette I. Palafox, Dr. Joshua Rosenthal, Lenore Grant, and Brittney Dorow for the thoughtful arrangements and engaging discussions.

Stop 6 · San José State University

HYP Global visited San José State University — just three months after officially launching undergraduate and graduate admissions cooperation. The campus's vibrant atmosphere and the energy of students between classes left a strong impression, bringing the university's dynamic academic life to life.

Thank you to Alan Wong and Victoria Lien Pham for the warm welcome and in-depth conversations on admissions strategy.

Stop 7 · UC Riverside School of Business

HYP Global and the UCR School of Business team held an efficient one-hour meeting — reviewing the past year's enrollment outcomes and aligning on new recruitment channels and partnership strategies for the year ahead.

Thank you to Steve Shaohui Chen and Marina Tadros for the warm reception and productive alignment on goals and vision.

Stop 8 · Pepperdine University Graziadio Business School

HYP Global returned to Pepperdine's Graziadio Business School. Discussions went beyond routine progress updates — focusing on this year's marketing priorities and recruitment strategies, reinforcing a shared vision and a mutual commitment to deepening the partnership.

Thank you to Lee Hughes and Sarah for the exceptional hospitality and the stories behind Graziadio's iconic campus.

Stop 9 · Otis College of Art and Design (October 24)

The final stop of the fall 2025 tour brought HYP Global to Otis College of Art and Design. From the foundations studios for first-year students to the senior capstone spaces where graduating artists bring their final projects to life, Otis's immersive, hands-on learning environment made a lasting impression.

Thank you to Yoi Tanaka for leading us through such a memorable campus tour.

This two-week tour was a meaningful expression of HYP Global's commitment to the partnerships at the heart of everything we do. We believe that in-person connection is the most powerful driver of deep, lasting collaboration in international education — and we look forward to continuing these conversations with our partner institutions in the recruitment season ahead.

The visit also included stops at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), the UC Irvine Paul Merage School of Business, and Rutgers Business School, among other institutions.
