Hope International University Alumni

Back-to-back GSAC Tournament Champions!

Royce Clayton’s walk-off seals it as the Royals are headed back to the NAIA Tournament.

Last weekend’s Spirit of Hope Gala was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together. Through inspiring testimonies, music, and shared purpose, we celebrated the impact of student scholarships and the bright future ahead for HIU.

A powerful new symbol of faith now shines on campus

A 12-foot beveled, backlit monument cross has been installed on the exterior of the Pacific Auditorium—home of the Dr. Joseph C. Grana Chapel—serving as a visible reminder of HIU’s mission and foundation.

This past Saturday, we welcomed our alumni and friends for a private VIP dessert reception before enjoying SPERO’s production of Fiddler on the Roof.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! We’re so grateful you were part of it!

Hope lives...and His name is Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

Beloved alumnus Jay Hewitt (’03), Founding and Lead Pastor of Friends Church in Orange, CA, passed into eternity after a long, courageous battle with brain cancer. Our prayers are with Jay’s wife, Dr. Natalie Hewitt (’02), Dean of HIU's College of Arts and Sciences, and their daughter, Hero.
