Living the Mission: How BLUEprint Shapes Student Success at Holy Family University

At Holy Family University, student success is more than academic achievement—it’s about shaping compassionate, ethical, and purpose-driven individuals. That’s the heart of the BLUEprint course sequence, a three-year student success plan that weaves the university’s Core Values—Respect, Integrity, Service, Responsibility, Learning, and Vision—into every stage of the undergraduate journey.

It begins in the first year with HFE 100: Prepare, where students are equipped with the tools they need to successfully transition into college life. The course emphasizes professional communication, academic honesty, and personal accountability—laying a strong foundation for both intellectual and ethical growth. More than a skills course, HFE 100 helps students discover a sense of belonging and purpose rooted in our mission and values.

In the second year, students continue with HFE 200: Persist, which centers on resilience and persistence. Here, students explore concepts like adaptability, compassion, and conflict resolution—skills essential not only for college but for life. This course supports students as they build the mindset needed to stay the course, even in the face of challenges.

By the third year, students engage in HFE 300: Pursue, where the focus turns toward preparing for life beyond the university. With an emphasis on decision-making, self-reflection, personal agency, and humility, students are guided in clarifying their goals and charting their post-graduation path. This final course empowers them to lead with integrity and vision—hallmarks of the Holy Family graduate.

Across all three courses, the BLUEprint sequence does more than teach skills; it nurtures character. It supports our students in becoming intentional, engaged, and value-driven individuals ready to contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

At Holy Family, we’re not just preparing students for careers—we’re helping them build lives of purpose.
