Homecoming and Family Weekend celebrations brought hundreds of students, alumni, faculty and staff to the Houston Christian University campus for a weekend of cherished traditions, reunions, interactive games and the much-anticipated Husky Hustle 5K Run. This year, runners gathered in the evening for a Glow in the Dark version of the 21st annual 5K run hosted by the HCU Alumni Association to raise funds for scholarships. The weekend also featured the Association’s annual Spirit of HCU Awards Dinner honoring alumni for their achievements and contributions to the University. Brandon Baca ’00 was presented with the Distinguished Alumnus Award 2022, Micah Jimison ’19 received the Emerging Leader Award 2022, and Noemi Martinez ’22 was presented with the Emma Key Faithful Servant Award. Additionally, alumni, faculty, and staff were inducted into HCU’s Walk of Honor. HCU Athletics also inducted individuals into the HCU Athletic Hall of Honor whose participation and contributions have enriched and strengthened the University’s athletic program. Topping the weekend off, Christian Saldivar and Jessie Jimenez were crowned HCU’s 2022 Homecoming King and Queen, respectively, during halftime of HCU’s Homecoming game against Northwestern State.
