  • DECEMBER 2002 from the President
    DECEMBER 2002 From the President s we look ahead to the coming new year, we are reminded of the many people and activities that have shepherded us in our mission as a Christian University. In his Founders’ Day Convocation address, Rev. Mark Denison BA ’82, encouraged the faculty, staff, students, trustees and Founders present to look to Hebrews 12 “ ... persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.” As testament to the power of the Word, Mark acknowledged the Founders, faculty and staff who ran the good race and are now looking to us to continue that race in our lives. In recollecting hisA HBU experiences, he remembered members of the HBU family who shaped the University and have gone on to be with the Lord, including Dr. Walter Lumpkin BA’81, a beloved Christianity professor and friend to many on campus. In other celebrations of God’s Word, the University dedicated its Bible in America Museum collection with a brunch at Houston’s Power Center. There, Dr. Kirbyjon Caldwell, Pastor of Windsor Village Methodist Church and Dr. Jeannette Clift George, Director of the A.D. Players, shared accounts of the Bible’s significance and history to a crowd of more than 700. At The Guild’s annual Christmas Luncheon, Colleen Swindoll Dane continued the holiday season’s focus on Jesus Christ in her presentation, “In the Shadow of the Cross.” When it comes to the HBU family, we are continually blessed by people who share a common commitment to serving the University’s mission.

  • December 2003
    HBU December 2003 40 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE From the President his year marks an important milestone in the history of Houston Baptist University – the 40th anniversary of its first entering class in 1963. To that end, we are recognizing a year-long celebration of the growth this institution has experienced over the years.T Starting with our Opening Convocation in the fall to our commencement ce r emonies at the end of the year, we will honor our past, embrace what we have become and consider how we will grow in the future. Dr . Ron Ellis, a 1977 graduate and president of California Baptist University, kicked- of f the year-long celebration as he returned to campus for Opening Convocation. Ago o d friend and proud alumnus of the University, Ron shared his HBU experience and how the relationships he built during those years made an impact on his educational journey. The Spirit of Excellence Gala and Founders’ Day Convocation also marked the occasion as our four living Founding Fathers — Senator Lloyd Bentsen Jr., Jake Kamin, Don McMillian and Dr. Stewart Morris — were honored with the Spirit of Excellence Awa r d; and all living Founding Fathers, Founding Trustees and current and past trus t e e s we r e invited to return to campus for a special Founders’ Day celebration held in their ho n o r . This issue of the HBU News begins a ret r ospective series on the changing face of the campus … from student life, academics and spiritual life to athletics and the development of the physical plant, HBU is maturing as the Christian institution envisioned by its Founding Fathers — one, however, that has remained steadfast in its mission to serve as a witness to Jesus Christ.

  • Like HBU, Universities Across the Country Are Dealing With
    F ROM THE PRESIDENT ike HBU, universities across the country are dealing with the issues of the three R’s. If you are of my generation, you may be reminiscing about the good ole days of “reading, writing and arithmetic.” But that was a few years ago and applied to the elementary curriculum. LToday, we are dealing with 21st century issues in higher education and the three R’s represent Recruiting, Retention and Resources. The topics are shared by two-year community colleges, by large and small public institutions and Christian universities like HBU. Recruitment ... exciting opportunities to tell our story to prospective students – graduate and undergraduate – to invite them to the campus for special events and receptions, for tours and classroom experiences. It’s beginning a relationship! Retention ... affirmation of the vision and mission of the University; it’s the challenge of meeting the needs of our students until they graduate. It’s continuing a relationship! Resources ... providing the financial needs to support the University’s academic programs, student needs and master plan; and most importantly to properly acknowledge the efforts of our outstanding faculty and staff. It’s supporting a relationship! However, at HBU we believe we are unique and therefore we have a fourth R ... Relationships! Relationships permeate everything we’re about. In this issue of the News, you’ll read about students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends who share special relationships with each other and with the University. I recently visited with a student who epitomizes this spirit. He wanted to tell me how much HBU means to him.
