The friendly people at HSU make it a great place to work. Faculty and staff go that extra mile to help students. Because of our Christian environment, I feel very comfortable praying with students before class on Mondays, Tuesdays, and before each exam. Because of small classes, I really get to know most of the students before the end of the semester. From many students’ testimonies, I know the Lord has used me in a special way to say an encouraging word. During my 35-plus years tenure, students, staff and other faculty members have blessed me in a wonderful way. Through the years, I have seen the Lord bless HSU in a special way. Students, come and join us and find out for yourself! HSU is a great place to continue your education.
