Featured Facts and Information
Alumni Engagement
As a graduate of Hardin-Simmons University, you are part of a legacy built on faith, leadership, and service. Our alumni community spans generations and geography, yet remains united by a shared HSU experience.
We invite you to stay connected — to return, to engage, to invest, and to celebrate all that makes HSU special. Wherever your journey leads, you will always have a home on the Forty Acres.
Giving to HSU
From scholarships to educational equipment and research, capital projects to campus improvements, faculty and staff to student and alumni activities, what we do matters. Giving to HSU helps continue our legacy and build our future. On behalf of each student, alumni, faculty, and staff member whose life is being impacted by your gift – thank you!
speakLIFE
In 2019, when developing the university’s strategic plan, Hardin-Simmons University asked alumni, faculty, staff, and community members to identify areas across campus that needed attention and financial support. Beginning in fall 2022, Hardin-Simmons shifted out of the silent phase of the $35 million speakLIFE Campaign and into the promotion phase, with a challenge goal of $45 million.
Alumni Events
The Alumni Engagement Office plans a variety of events throughout the year to bring HSU Alumni and friends together. As your schedule permits, we hope you will register to join us for the events that apply to you. Pre-registration is required for most events!
