"The education, experiences and people that I connected with at at Henderson truly developed me into the man that I am today. My work ethic, time management skills, attention to details, character, grit and resilience are all qualities that being a student athlete at Henderson helped create."
My courses and professors set high expectations, always challenging me to meet those demands. As a result, I set high expectations of myself and that has stayed with me throughout my life.
"My experience at Henderson is one that I will cherish forever. Attending a smaller university makes you family. I wouldn’t take anything for my friends who are more like family."
"Henderson was the perfect fit for me. I had attended a small college of about 400 students, transferred to a huge university with hundreds of students in each classroom, and eventually landed at the school which shares my name. Henderson was the perfect fit!"
"My extracurricular activities at Henderson (especially my fraternity experience), gave me a great opportunity to grow as a young man and experience college life and all the opportunities it allows for one to grow, both mentally and socially."
"My career is clearly a product of my Henderson years, the staff who invested in me, and the opportunity to learn how to learn, to ask a lot of questions, and to work more than I thought I could. These Reddie traits have stayed with me for over 40 years."
