We loved having these students on campus to help with Adventure University.

Our Future Teachers of America (FTA) students recently visited HLGU, where they assisted with the university's Academic Days. During the visit, our students participated in hands-on educational activities and gained valuable insight into the planning and development of lessons for students across a variety of age groups. This was an excellent opportunity for them to gain practical experience and a better understanding of what it takes to create engaging and effective learning experiences.

It’s been a busy two days for the HLGU education community! ❤️💙

We hosted Adventure University, cheered on our graduate assistant Saige and the Lady Trojans in a soccer win, enjoyed an amazing production of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane featuring several of our students onstage and behind the scenes, and supported our Lady Trojans at volleyball!

Ava, pictured on the volleyball court, went straight from helping with Adventure University to the gym for her match. Talk about a full day!

We love seeing our future teachers share their talents, serve our community, and support one another. So many reasons to be proud of this HLGU family! 🎭⚽🏐

Did you know Missouri is known as The Cave State? With more than 7,500 recorded caves, it's no surprise! And Hannibal is part of that underground story, too!

Here are a few fun cave facts:
🦇 Missouri has more than 7,500 documented caves, making it second only to Tennessee.
🔦 Hannibal is home to the famous Mark Twain Cave, which inspired scenes in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
🧭 Mark Twain Cave is a maze cave, with a network of interconnected passageways!

Our HLGU Education students brought this science to life by designing and building a brand-new, man-made cave for Adventure University! Using just two box fans and heavy-duty tarps, they transformed an ordinary space into an underground learning adventure where young explorers could discover how caves form and learn about the animals that live in them.

The last HLGU cave tours are happening NOW! What a fun way to bring science, creativity, and hands-on learning together!

Adventure University students are exploring the world beneath our feet! Students learning about caves are getting an up-close look inside our very own man-made cave as they discover how caves are formed and learn about the animals that call them home.

But wait... do you see who joined our explorers? It's Tom and Becky! A little Mark Twain magic makes learning about Missouri even more fun!

The day is here! Adventure University is underway at HLGU! Our Education students have worked hard to create engaging sessions that help students explore all things Missouri, from caves and spelunking to Mark Twain and his impact on Hannibal, building LEGO landmarks from around the state, and discovering some of Missouri’s favorite mammals.

We currently have about 60students in grades 2–6 participating in hands-on learning, team-building, and class-building activities. We also have several high school students from Monroe City on campus today to help with all this learning!

Stay tuned for more pictures throughout the day!
