The wait is almost over! 🎉

On Monday, August 24, our campus comes alive as undergraduate students return for the first day of the fall semester. The quiet of summer will soon give way to familiar sounds—the buzz of conversation, laughter echoing across campus, footsteps rushing to class, friends reconnecting and new memories beginning.

There’s just something special about a campus filled with students. They bring the energy, excitement and sense of possibility that make Heritage University feel like Heritage University. 🦅💙

Welcome back, Eagles! We can’t wait to see you soaring. Let’s make this semester a great one!

Heritage University has received another $5,000 through its affinity debit card partnership with Gesa Credit Union.

On Friday our Rebecca Garza and Adriana Villafan received the check from Gesa. Through the Affinity Debit Card program, Gesa directs a portion of transaction fees from participating card use to partner schools and organizations—at no additional cost to cardholders.

The Gesa Affinity Card Program at Heritage University is now in its fourth year. If you’d like to participate, Gesa members with a checking account can switch their debit card to the Heritage University design at no cost.

Many thanks to Gesa Credit Union and its members who make this support possible for Heritage University and our students!
