Student Engagement

Hardin-Simmons strives to provide student involvement opportunities within a healthy and vibrant campus experience. This is accomplished by developing community-minded leaders and creating diverse and inclusive programming while helping students establish life-long relationships.

SABERS SABERS is the oldest student activities board on the Hardin-Simmons campus. Established in 2008, SABERS became the face of Student Activities, spearheading many of HSU’s traditional and social events. Through their involvement in SABERS, students learn how to plan, advertise, and implement events for their fellow students. To become a SABER, you must have prior leadership experience through a student activities leadership group, and participate in our membership application and interview process.
