Message from President Lunsford:
One of the university's beloved first ladies has left us for her eternal home.
You will want to join me in mourning the loss of former first lady Edith Hardwick, 91, who died peacefully in her sleep early Friday morning, May 2. She was the widow of LETU's first chancellor, Dr. Harry Hardwick, who served as president of the university from 1968 to 1975. During the Hardwicks' service, the university first gained SACS accreditation (1970) and built the B.A. Skipper Dining Hall (1970), Margaret Estes Learning Resource Center (1974) and Memorial Student Center (1975). Mrs. Hardwick had moved from her home in Longview to Coon Rapids, MN, in 2004.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorial gifts be made to LeTourneau University student scholarships.
