HUA in Florida: Orlando and Tampa Townhalls March 2022

HUA entered the 4th year since beginning its rejuvenation plan with momentum, excitement, and a range of possibilities. The developments of the last 3 years were highlighted during a series of events and meetings in Florida between March 3rd and March 6th, 2022. Beginning with an Orlando Town-hall hosted by Shri Brahmaratan Agarwal and Shri Suresh Gupta at Park Square Homes, the positive and impressive trajectory HUA has charted over the last 3 years brought many supporters off of the sidelines and into the university.

Bringing together a network of supporters that stretches back to the founding of HUA back in 1989, a Townhall in Tampa at the Ayyappan Mandir brought to the fore the desire and interest in a Hindu institution of higher education.

Throughout the week, Board Members and supporters met with a range of influencers, donors, and community groups to re-introduce HUA to the community and present the growing portfolio of programs, courses, and dharmik opportunities the university presents.
