Honoring The Guild This year’s symposium will include a special Luncheon Honoring The Guild! The Guild serves Houston Christian University in incredibly significant ways, offering women in the Houston area the opportunity to participate in the ongoing development of HCU, filling needs which are not being met at the present time by any other University support group. Each year, The Guild provides graduate students in the School of Education and the School of Christian Thought with generous scholarships. Countless lives have been eternally impacted by the tremendous work of The Guild. During this year’s symposium luncheon, we will highlight the work of our “All-Star” Panel of Guild Scholars (past and present) to positively impact today’s educational settings. Registration for the luncheon is included within the symposium registration fee. Individuals wanting to register for the luncheon only can do so for $20 per person. Please visit the 2025 Dr. Dawn K.
