Palmer McCown, Director of Student Ministries
and HSU Class of 1961, is understandably
excited about the new Center.
He states, "The positives regarding the
Missions Center are numerous. We will have a
location from which student ministries on
campus can be launched, such as regular prayer
meetings, Bible studies, and a late-night coffee
house open one night each week. Plus we will
have a permanent place for a vital prayer room
open to everyone on campus.
"The commitment to missions and minis-
tries will be heightened by having a building, in
a key campus location, for the sole purpose of
challenging students toward a deeper aware-
ness of and responsiveness to the needs of the
world,' McCown continues. "In our computer
center, students can log on to one or more of
numerous sites available to learn about world
missions, and to keep in touch with career and
short-term missionaries.
MOVEMENT IN THE
PHYSICAL THERAPY
PROGRAM
The Campaign has provided much-needed
space for the successful Physical Therapy
program. The first class of 12 enrolled in the
spring of 1995, crowding into classrooms in the
Sid Richardson Science Building. (The program
was fully accredited in 1997.)
In 1997, with the governmental withdrawal
of the ROTC program and with the approval of
the Mabee family, Mabee Hall became available.
Through the Leadership For Tomorrow Cam-
paign, the rifle range has been transformed into
an anatomy lab, an applied physiology lab, a
musculoskeletal lab, and an EMG lab, plus
student and faculty lounges.With the completion of the renovation and
furnishing of Mabee Hall, the HSU Physical
Therapy program
will be an entry-
level education
program of
excellence. In the
future, the
program hopes to
become a regional
center for continu-
ing education and
applied research .
for physical therapists and other health-care
professionals.
INVALUABLE
LEADERSHIP PARTNERS
Dr. Lanny Hall, in reviewing the success of the
Leadership for Tomorrow Campaign, said, "We
celebrate the wonderful generosity of so many
alumni, faculty, staff, and special friends who
enabled us to surpass our $14 million goal with
gifts and pledges now exceeding $17 million. We
are blessed and truly grateful.
"The gifts from this campaign are already
bearing
fruit. In
addition to
the con-
struction a ~& M
already
underway, we have enhanced our financial aid
resources, reduced our debt, and established a
much-needed contingency fund;' Hall continued.
"Hardin-Simmons University is on solid ground.
Building upon our heritage of leadership in
Christian education, we are confident of even
greater leadership opportunities in our second
century."Physical Therapy
