Charter Celebration
April 20, 2024 | Belton, Texas
On February 1, 1845, a charter started a small Baptist institution in Independence, Texas. Today, we celebrate the rich Heritage and Tradition
of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. We invite you to join us for Charter Celebration on Saturday, April 20, 2024. We will reflect on our past and celebrate the significant relationships formed during our days at Mary Hardin-Baylor.
We will celebrate the 50-year reunion of the Class of 1974 and reunions for Historical Phila, Royal Academia, and Campus Boys. If you would like to reserve a room for a reunion, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Alumni Engagement office at 254-295-4599.
Our Celebration Lunch will feature a special message and the recognition and induction of the Class of 1974 into the Heritage Club. The cost of the lunch will be $20 per person and is free for our friends in the Class of 1974.
