In continuing its commitment to providing accessible and affordable college education, Freed-Hardeman University introduces the groundbreaking FHU Promise Program, designed to cover the financial gap for qualified students. 

Freed-Hardeman University’s Loyd Auditorium holds decades of memories for alumni and friends of the university. It is the venue for such annual events as Lectureship, Makin’ Music, Horizons, RUSH, benefit dinners, commencements and a host of other campus activities including daily chapel. As plans are underway to renovate the 47-year old auditorium, the university is offering individuals the opportunity to name new seats in the building. The extensive transformation of the auditorium is part of FHU Next, an ongoing capital campaign for campus improvements. 

The Second Annual Beyond BK Intern Recognition Dinner celebrated 27 Freed-Hardeman College of Business students who completed professional internships during the last year. About 100 people attended the evening, which was sponsored by HCA Healthcare and Vector Wealth Strategies.

Visitors to Freed-Hardeman’s campus for this year’s homecoming festivities will be invited to start celebrating the Christmas season a little early. FHU Theatre will present a special production of the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol” in the Black Box Theatre, Nov. 9-11 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 11-12 at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at fhutickets.com.

“God can truly give you the desires of your heart, and you don’t have to sell your soul.” Country singer, songwriter Janelle Arthur shared pearls of wisdom during her visit to Freed-Hardeman University’s campus where she introduced herself to the student body during chapel, held a songwriting clinic with music majors, spoke to students in the Draughon Recital Hall on the topic of “Maintaining Christian Values in the Entertainment Industry” and gave an evening performance in Old Main. 

In continuing Freed-Hardeman’s annual tradition, the student body has selected 18 of their peers to represent both their classes and their school by serving on the 2023 homecoming court. Chosen representatives will be introduced to the student body during a special chapel presentation Monday, Nov. 6, at 10:30 a.m. This presentation will also be streamed live at fhu.edu/chapel. Homecoming king and queen will later be crowned in a coronation ceremony on the Smith-Kirk Court in the Brewer Sports Center at 6 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 11.

Freed-Hardeman University marketing students have seen a dream become a reality. Thirty students enrolled last fall in Marketing 364 raised funds to redecorate the common areas of Brown-Kopel Business Center’s second floor. They also worked with ImageWorks Commercial Interiors to create a new look for the much-used space. The culmination of their efforts was unveiled at a ribbon cutting Oct. 24 prior to a dinner hosted by the College of Business for student interns.

Freed-Hardeman University welcomed around 900 middle school and high school students to campus Sept. 22-24 for RUSH weekend. The FHU admissions team said that these numbers broke their anticipated goal for the event.

Elizabeth Gentle, a celebrated journalist and communication specialist with more than 20 years of experience in the news industry, will be the featured alumni speaker for this year’s Freed-Hardeman University ALUMination Days. Gentle will speak to students Thursday, Nov. 9, at 10:30 a.m. in Loyd Auditorium.
