Harding University Parents and Grandparents

Welcome
to the Harding family…

Whether you are an alumnus and/or the parent of a current student, we welcome you to the Harding family.

Families spend years planning, saving and guiding students to prepare them for their college experience. HUPA & HUGS are support systems for parents and grandparents of Harding University students.

🌟 DID YOU KNOW? 🌟
Last year, Harding launched four new HU Chapters in areas with large alumni and parent communities: Dallas-Fort Worth, Nashville, Northeast Arkansas, and Northwest Arkansas. This fall, we’re thrilled to kick off our newest chapter in Tulsa! 🎉

What are HU Chapters? HU Chapters are designed to be led by our alumni and parents, for our local communities. The goal is simple: to bring together Harding alumni, students, parents, donors, and friends right where you live to keep our Harding family strong and connected.

How it works & what to expect: Chapters are volunteer-led and autonomous, giving local leadership teams the freedom to create meaningful connection points — whether that’s casual get-togethers, service projects, student recruiting efforts, or special events.

If you live in one of these areas and want to get involved, meet fellow Harding families, or help lead the charge in your city, we’d love to connect with you! Links to each chapter's Facebook group is in the comments.
