HSU Alumni, we’ve got a challenge for you! 🤠💜

What if you could help a future Cowboy find their place at HSU AND help them receive a $5,000 scholarship?

Homecoming is a reminder of what makes HSU special. Now, it’s your turn to help the next generation experience it for themselves.

Watch to see how you can make it happen! taken in Hardin-Simmons University by @hsutxalumni

Heading to campus for Homecoming? 🚗 Here’s everything you need to know about parking and road closures this weekend. Swipe through, plan ahead, and give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot. We can’t wait to see you! 💜💛 #hsuhomecoming26

Friday & Saturday Parking
Where to park, day by day! 🅿️ Highlighted lots are open for Homecoming guests, and red X’s mark areas that will be closed. Note that available lots shift between Friday and Saturday, so check the map for the day you’re coming. There will be golf carts available on Saturday morning to help you get around!

Friday Night Festival Footprint
Here’s your guide to tonight’s Friday Night Festival on Newman-Richardson Lawn! 🎉 The road along the festival will be blocked starting at 4:00 p.m., and the lot north of Vogel Ave will be closed for fireworks, so plan to park elsewhere. Look for food trucks lining the street, the stage and performance area, tables and chairs, and the Vendor Fair along the south side of the lawn. Bring a lawn chair to enjoy and hang out for the evening!

Campus Parking Map
New to campus or just a little rusty? 🗺️ Use this map to find buildings, landmarks, and available parking (shaded in gold). Swing by the Alumni Wall, Dam-It’s grave, or the HSU Bell while you’re here! taken in Hardin-Simmons University by @hsutxalumni
