Friends of Northwest University gathered together for the Naming Ceremony of one of the University’s newest buildings, the Donald H. Argue Health and Sciences Center (HSC). The building was named after the former President and current Chancellor of Northwest University.
During the ceremony, alumni, board members, staff and faculty, and friends of Northwest University, were recognized for their generous giving. Rooms and areas in the HSC were named after these major donors. All were a testament to Dr. Argue’s leadership and friendship.
Dr. Castleberry, President of Northwest University, recognized Dr. Argue for his vision that brought the HSC to reality. Dr. Argue received a standing ovation as the Donald H. Argue Health and Sciences Center was revealed.
Dr. Argue was the fifth president of Northwest University. During his tenure (1998 – 2007) as president, overall enrollment grew 52% and the University added more than a dozen undergraduate programs, including The Mark and Huldah Buntain School of Nursing that now occupies the Health and Sciences Center. In addition to the undergraduate programs, four graduate programs were added: the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, the Master of Business Administration, the Master in Teaching, and the Master of Education. He led growth that included an increase in the number of faculty and the addition of 14 new buildings, including the acquisition of a 35,000 square foot office building that served as the Center for Graduate and Professional Studies, and the construction of the Health and Sciences Center.
When asked about the Health and Sciences Center being named in his honor, Dr. Argue said, “Both Pat and I were deeply humbled by the kindness of the Board of Directors in naming the building. Our years in leadership at Northwest University have been a wonderful experience.”
Dr. Argue continues to serve Northwest University as Chancellor and also serves as a Commissioner on the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), an independent, non-political and non-partisan federal agency.
