BROWNWOOD – November 8, 2016 – An exciting fall semester at Howard Payne University is rapidly drawing to a close. The first-year students at HPU’s Brownwood campus comprise the university’s second-largest class in 16 years.
Recent campus events include Homecoming, during which students participated in activities such as a parade, bonfire, fireworks show and more. Other fall events include a variety of music recitals and concerts, theatre performances, athletic events, weekly Chapel programs and more.
Students at HPU participate in 30 official student organizations, and the university’s co-curricular programs include Moot Court, Model United Nations, Student Speaker Bureau and Mock Trial. Student athletes at HPU compete in six men’s and six women’s sports through the American Southwest Conference, and many students participate in intramural sports.
Dr. Magen Bunyard, vice president for student life and dean of students, said the first-year students quickly acclimated to life at HPU.
“With the encouragement of upperclassmen, faculty and staff, our new students have made a home for themselves at HPU,” she said. “We’re proud of their involvement in campus life, and we’re looking forward to the successful completion of their first semester as HPU Yellow Jackets.”
