BROWNWOOD – September 13, 2023 – Howard Payne University hosted the first annual Health Science Enrichment Workshop (HSEW) this past summer. The two-day program was sponsored by the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) and provided participating high school juniors and seniors hands-on learning opportunities on the HPU campus and onsite at Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood.

Through health care simulations, the participants received instruction in suture/staple removal, basic EKG interpretation and emergency resuscitation. Through science labs, they performed DNA extraction and anatomy dissections. Students also earned their Stop the Bleed® certification, which was presented to them by Dr. Laci Sutton, dean of HPU’s School of Nursing, professor of nursing and co-director of HSEW.

HPU’s School of Nursing and School of Science and Mathematics organized the event. Along with Dr. Sutton, the program was co-led by Dr. Kristen Hutchins. She is the dean of the School of Science and Mathematics, professor of biology and JAMP faculty director at HPU.

“Dr. Sutton and I are excited to work together in supporting high school students interested in a healthcare profession,” said Dr. Hutchins. “This workshop provided excellent opportunities for them to expand their knowledge and skills on the HPU campus and spend time in a healthcare field of their interest.”

An important aspect of HSEW was the opportunity for students to shadow and network with healthcare professionals at Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood, which gave them exposure to a variety of career paths.

“Hendrick Health was a significant partner in making the first annual Health Science Enrichment Workshop a success,” said Dr. Sutton. “We are thankful for the partnership with Hendrick Health in supporting students during their educational journey.”

Dr. Sutton and Dr. Hutchins are eager to organize HSEW for summer 2024.

BROWNWOOD – August 24, 2023 – Howard Payne University recently became one of the first two educational institution member partners of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA). The BWA General Council approved HPU as a member partner through a unanimous vote during July’s 2023 BWA Annual Gathering in Stavanger, Norway.

The BWA is an international network of Baptists with five key ministry areas: strengthening (worship, fellowship and unity); leading (mission and evangelism); responding (aid, relief and community development); defending (religious freedom, human rights and justice); and advancing (theological reflection and transformational leadership). The BWA website, www.baptistworld.org, describes these ministry areas and their respective programs in detail.

“Howard Payne University is proud to enter into this partnership with the BWA in pursuit of our common desire to build the Kingdom of God around the world,” said Dr. Cory Hines, HPU president. “Being a member partner will benefit our student experience and increase opportunities for spiritual growth and mission work.”

BROWNWOOD – August 15, 2023 – Howard Payne University was recently awarded a $1 million gift by the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Foundation to establish the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Endowed Scholarship Fund. The fund will provide scholarships for HPU students who demonstrate the character associated with the foundation’s founders, John and Lottie Mabee, such as a strong work ethic, volunteerism, generosity, integrity, honesty, humility and charity.

“This $1 million gift is an expression not only of the Mabee Foundation’s extraordinary generosity but also the founders’ vision for helping those in need,” said Dr. Cory Hines, HPU president. “HPU students will benefit from the impact of this gift for generations to come.”

Scholarship awards of $10,000 each will be made annually to at least four students who are enrolled full time, reside in Texas or one of several surrounding states, and maintain a 3.0 GPA. HPU’s administrative leadership team will make the selections each year. Students can apply through the university’s Office of Financial Aid.

Dr. Dale Meinecke, HPU’s vice president for advancement, said the gift will serve as an ongoing extension of the Mabees’ commitment to serving others.

“It is amazing to me that John and Lottie Mabee’s vision from years ago to bless others will result in perpetuity HPU students receiving an outstanding Christian education and developing into servant-leaders who we hope like the Mabees give back to their communities,” he said.

Howard Payne University and the Mabee Foundation have partnered together through the decades on projects such as HPU’s Mabee University Center, several campus improvement projects through the years and, most recently, the renovation of the Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom building. The gift for scholarships celebrates 75 years of philanthropic work by the Mabee Foundation in Texas and surrounding areas. Since 1948, the Mabee Foundation has given over $1.5 billion for philanthropic work toward bettering communities in areas such as education, health and religion.

“John and Lottie Mabee cared about giving people a ‘leg up’ to help them improve their situation and better their lives,” said Michael Goeke, executive director of the Mabee Foundation. “They also were valued and principled people. HPU represents the values of John and Lottie Mabee and we believe this scholarship fund will help many HPU students gain valuable experiences and knowledge that will lead them to live full, successful and purposeful lives.”

Applications for admission to HPU are still being accepted for the fall 2023 semester, scheduled to begin Aug. 21. To apply, visit www.hputx.edu/apply.

BROWNWOOD – July 20, 2023 – Howard Payne University will hold the grand opening of the newly renovated Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom on Tuesday, August 15. At 2 p.m., doors will open for self-guided tours, with a ceremony to follow at 2:30 p.m.

Visitors to the Academy of Freedom building, located at 1320 Austin Avenue, are encouraged to access the building through the entrance closest to the parking lot on the Coggin Avenue side of the facility.

The Academy of Freedom was recently the focus of a major renovation project to update the historic facility for revitalized use by HPU students, personnel and visitors. Home of the Guy D. Newman Honors Academy, the university’s multidisciplinary honors program, the Academy of Freedom features modular classrooms, updated technology and much-needed reception and office space. Honoring the ideals that serve as the foundation for the Honors Academy, the central gallery houses HPU’s historic statue of General MacArthur and a special collection of artifacts related to his distinguished military career.

“The Academy of Freedom’s renovation honors its distinctive heritage while preparing it for a strong future,” said Dr. Cory Hines, HPU president. “We are thrilled with the facility and eager to share it with the public.”

Applications are being accepted for HPU’s fall 2023 semester that will begin Aug. 21. To apply, visit www.hputx.edu/apply.

BROWNWOOD – July 5, 2023 – Howard Payne University recently announced the creation of the Center for Student Success, a program focused on improving academic outcomes for undergraduate students enrolled at the university. The resources offered by the center will complement existing student-success initiatives to prepare students comprehensively for success upon graduation and entry into the workforce.

The center will be strategically positioned to direct the university’s efforts in areas such as academic advising, tutoring, dual enrollment and accommodations to students with disabilities while, through the newly created University Writing Center, helping students develop their writing skills across all courses.

The Center for Student Success, based in HPU’s Walker Memorial Library, will be led by Dr. Wendy McNeeley, assistant vice president for academic success. Dr. McNeeley’s 29 years of leadership at HPU includes experience as a faculty member and in roles such as director of developmental studies, dean of advising and general education and, since 2017, assistant vice president for university records and dean of general education.

“The Center for Student Success, under Dr. McNeeley’s leadership, will play an essential part in providing necessary support to and improved academic outcomes for our students,” said Dr. Cory Hines, HPU president. “The center is yet another example of HPU’s continued commitment to providing quality, Christ-centered higher education in the Heart of Texas, and I look forward to the vital role the Center for Student Success will play in enhancing the student experience at Howard Payne in the years ahead.”

Dr. McNeeley looks forward to seeing the impact the center will have on students’ learning.

“I am excited about the opportunities that this new center will afford to students and look forward to focusing on student academic success,” said Dr. McNeeley. “We have wonderful students at HPU, and this will be another resource that can assist them to be all God has called them to be.”

Applications are being accepted for HPU’s fall 2023 semester, which will begin Aug. 21. To apply, visit www.hputx.edu/apply.
