2022 HLGU Phonathon
2022-04-18 17:30 - 19:30, 2022-04-19 17:30 - 19:30, 2022-04-20 17:30 - 19:30, 2022-04-21 17:30 - 19:30 (America/Chicago)
HLGU alumni and friends will soon be receiving phone calls from current HLGU students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.
The 2022 HLGU Phonathon will be taking place on select nights between April 11 and April 21 from the institutional advancement office on the 4th floor of the Burt Administration building. Calling will take place between 5:30 and 7:30 pm on April 11-14 and 18-21. Callers will be reaching out to both HLGU alumni and previous donors to the institution.

This year’s Phonathon needs volunteers who love HLGU and would like to help make a difference in the lives of HLGU students. All volunteers will be provided with a script and phones for the event, as well as some snacks. Anyone interested in volunteering for the 2022 Phonathon should email Director of Alumni Services Lauren Youse at lauren.youse@hlg.edu.
Callers for the HLGU Phonathon will be focusing on four main areas of need for the University:

Immediate debt reduction
Student aid and scholarships
Faculty retention
Operating expenses

“The greatest impact we can make in this day is to raise up this next generation of students, equip them with the knowledge of a Christian worldview, and set them loose to serve the world wherever God should place them,” said HLGU transitional president Dr. Rodney Harrison. “In such a time as this, the need for friends to financially support HLGU is critical.”
Anyone who would like to give to HLGU can do so online at hlg.edu/giving or call the institutional advancement office at 573-629-3124.

Constitution Day with Dr. Doug Richey
2022-09-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Roland Fine Arts Center, 2800 Palmyra Road, Hannibal, 63401, United States
Hannibal-LaGrange University will celebrate Constitution Day with Missouri House Representative Dr. Doug Richey, on Monday, September 19 at 11 a.m. in the Roland Fine Arts Center.
This Constitution Day event is in partnership with the Moorman Foundation as part of the Free Society Speaker Series at HLGU. Hannibal-LaGrange University has long been an advocate of the principles of a free and virtuous society.
“I am both excited and honored to have Doug Richey speak on campus for our Constitution Day event,” says Dr. Eric Turner, Chair of Arts and Humanities Division at HLGU. “Doug is a perfect fit as he embodies both a pastor’s heart and a sharp, scholarly mind with respect to the political landscape in Missouri.”
Dr. Doug Richey was elected to his first two-year term in the Missouri House of Representatives in 2018. In addition to serving as a State Representative, he is also a law enforcement chaplain, adjunct professor, and the senior pastor at Pisgah Baptist Church. Richey earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Missouri and then went on to earn three master’s degrees and a doctorate from the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He spent eight years in the Missouri Army National Guard as a combat engineer and has served as president for several alumni organizations and local boards.
“I am eagerly anticipating the connections Doug will make for our students, staff, and faculty between our Christian faith and faithful stewardship of our constitutional responsibilities,” Turner says.
For more information about Constitution Day at HLGU, email FreeSociety@hlg.edu. This event is free and open to the public.

Her choices lead her to navigate a dangerous world of covetous lords and elusive mercenaries with only a few clues to guide her. Inesca strives to balance her quest of seeking a knight known to her father with the challenge of competing in the formidable races of Rynar, understanding that if she fails, then she will lose her beloved stallion, Nycor.
The Legacy of the Lost Rider may be purchased online at Amazon or through the publisher, WestBow Press. Learn more at the author’swebsite, sharingtokens.com.
