Women of Faith

Women of Faith aims to inspire and encourage Harding's young women to dream and envision a life of service to the Lord and live out their faith-filled commitment in their professions, in their community, and most importantly, in their churches and homes. The goal is to preserve historical contributions of women while preparing current and future students to maintain their dignity and commitment to faith when entering the workplace. Rodney Waller, Harding alumnus and supporter, hopes this initiative will inspire the question “How can I use my gifts to glorify God?”

Harding applauds the transformational contributions of these women. As role models, their stories inspire faith and help emerging women leaders grasp their dignity and potential found in Christ. Their portraits can be viewed on the second floor of the Holland-Waller Center. Learn more about our inaugural honorees by clicking on each name.
