Henderson State University has a tradition and history of providing quality education in an embracing atmosphere. Established in 1890, Henderson has the reputation of the “School with a Heart,” and faculty and administration take that reputation seriously.

More than 90 student organizations await your participation at Henderson.  In addition to departmental organizations such as chemistry club, Henderson offers a variety of activities including religious and political organizations, Greek fraternities and sororities, and honor societies.

Other than club activities, Henderson students have a variety of on-campus entertainment options available throughout the year. Student productions, faculty concerts, guest speakers and performers, and Gulf South Conference sports enrich evenings and weekends. Movies on the Quad – outdoor events where students can see recent motion picture releases on a 20x30 foot inflatable screen – are offered each fall and spring, free of charge.
