Rise Up, the campus celebration hosted by Heritage University President Chris Gilmer, is now one for the history books—a day filled with community spirit, connection, and joy.
From lively karaoke and kids’ games to delicious food, exciting activities, and even a hot air balloon ride, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The displays and festivities brought together students, faculty, staff, and families in a way that truly highlighted the heart of Heritage.
