NJIT Highlanders vs. High Point University Panthers at the Qubein Center…read more I saw that NJIT, a school where I studied engineering before earning my degree in Charlotte, was playing at High Point University on Friday, December 5th at 7 pm. I try to attend at least one Highlanders game each year--usually in Newark, NJ with my longtime friend, an NJIT Alumni, Mike Johnstone. Even after moving to the North Carolina Triangle, I am still committed to seeing at least one Highlanders "Hoops" game annually. This year, the timing lined up perfectly. I had volunteered earlier in the day at the Fall 2025 Senior Design Expo at UNC Charlotte as a Lee College of Engineering alumnus, so the game in High Point was on my drive home. That said, I would have made the trip from Raleigh regardless. High Point entered that night with every advantage--better form, home court, a stronger roster, and momentum; however, I knew I would enjoy cheering on NJIT. High Point competes in the Big South Conference and started the 2025-26 season strong. Going into Friday's game, they were 7-2 overall and were picked in the preseason poll to finish first in the Big South. The Panthers are a solid mid-major program, coming off one of the best seasons in school history and carrying that momentum forward. NJIT, meanwhile, plays in the America East Conference and entered the night at 3-6 overall. Their road performance has been difficult, and historically the Highlanders have faced challenges, with a long-term winning percentage under .400 since joining Division I in the mid-2000s. Still, I was proud to support them. The outcome was expected, and High Point defeated NJIT 89-72. Despite the loss, I was proud of how competitive NJIT was, and I genuinely enjoyed watching both teams--High Point is an entertaining, well-coached squad. About the Qubein Center The Qubein Center is an impressive venue for basketball and university events. It is modern, beautifully maintained, and staffed by exceptionally friendly people--from the ticket office to the ushers. Because I have knee issues that make stairs difficult, I appreciated that the staff proactively offered me a ticket in the back row so I would not need to navigate steps. Access to my seat was seamless: elevator up, escalator down after the game, and no stairs required to reach the accessible men's room or concessions. The section also had non-assigned accessible seating, and the usher kindly allowed me to use one. That made my viewing experience even more comfortable. Overall, the Qubein Center is one of the most thoughtfully designed college arenas I have visited. Parking & Shuttle Bus Experience I parked in a surface lot off North University Parkway (across from Parkway Commons), located directly across East Lexington Avenue from the Qubein Center. High Point University operates shuttle buses between the parking areas and the arena, which made transportation simple and efficient. Even though I hold a North Carolina DMV Disability Parking Placard, I parked in a regular space adjacent to the designated accessible parking. I do this intentionally so that individuals who require van-accessible spaces can use them. The shuttle service was prompt, courteous, and easy to navigate. About High Point University High Point University is a private institution founded in 1924. In recent years it has grown significantly in both size and academic scope. HPU enrolls approximately 5,000 undergraduate students and is known for programs in business, health sciences, pharmacy, communication, education, interior design, and the arts. The university is also recognized for its significant campus investment, student-experience focus, and national rankings for innovation. For the 2025-26 academic year, HPU's estimated undergraduate tuition and fees are in the range of $45,000-$48,000 annually, with total cost of attendance (including room and board) typically exceeding $60,000. About NJIT The New Jersey Institute of Technology is a public polytechnic university founded in 1881 in Newark. It is widely known for engineering, architecture, computer science, applied sciences, and technology-focused business programs. NJIT enrolls roughly 11,000 students, including one of the most diverse engineering student bodies in the country. As a public institution, NJIT's tuition profile is significantly different from HPU's. For 2025-26, in-state undergraduate tuition typically falls in the $17,000-$19,000 range, while out-of-state tuition is generally around $33,000-$35,000. Overall Impression I had a great time attending the game. I was impressed by High Point University, its fans, the professionalism of the staff, and the overall atmosphere the university created before, during, and after the game. The Qubein Center is a standout facility, and the experience was smooth from parking to seating to the game itself. Even though the Highlanders came up short, it was a memorable night, and I look forward to returning.

For this #ThankfulThursday, my attention is turning to Dr. De'Shaunda Hampton and what she is doing at her company, Hampton Education Consulting Company (HECC), a #BlackOwned and #WomanOwned Business. I should disclose that Dr. Hampton is an acquaintance, however, her 25 years in education as a educator and administrator speaks volumes! This review is based solely on what I am witnessing her do to aid the children and community she has always served. When the pandemic hit this year, Dr. Hampton was already employed at the college level, and consulting and writing. However, she knew the children and families in Winston-Salem, NC would struggle with the new transitions in education, so she created HECC. Despite her continued grueling schedule with her work and family life, Dr. Hampton has managed to create a program through HECC that solves the issues students and parents now face, having to attend class virtually, without the assistance of in-person educators. HECC is able to teach Pre-K through 12, as well as assist college students and Adults. They do remediation, tutoring, day camp, and direct instruction. The highly rated software, MobyMax, is utilized to do pre-assessments and help determine how HECC can most assist students. Are you ready for another bonus? HECC is within FSA Eligibility guidelines because they offer Before and After School Care via the tutoring and remediation, Day Camp, and Whole Day programs. If your childcare or aftercare has closed due to COVID, Dependent Childcare FSA is now accepted at HECC! All CDC COVID-19 guidelines are strictly followed for students/parents who attend in-person lessons, and things are sanitized between classes. I have personally referred families to Hampton Education Consulting Company because I know that Dr. Hampton has a passion for education and a heart for children. Everyone has been thankful for the referrals and happy with the services. If you have a student current taking classes online, or you are taking classes yourself, and you want to ensure that you are performing at your highest level, I enthusiastically recommend Hampton Education Consulting Company to you. Make sure you let them know Kindra sent ya!
