Hesston College

Hesston College Empowering the Whole Student Established in 1909, Hesston College is a small, private Christian college located in central Kansas.

Well known for our Nursing and Aviation degrees, we have expanded our bachelor’s degree offerings
in health sciences, engineering and management. What sets us apart from similar schools is
what we affectionately call the Hesston Experience. This experience focuses on providing a place
for people of all faith backgrounds, cultures and perspectives to engage with one another, build
relationships tog

ether and create a unique community. Along with strong academic programs,
growing athletics programs, performing arts opportunities and a student-centered faculty, this
community provides an environment for each student to develop as a whole person, preparing them
for the next step in their lives.

This project is bigger than a weight room.

195 years of service. One community. 💙

During our recent employee celebration, we recognized faculty and staff members for 5-year milestones of service to Hesston College, ranging from 5 years all the way to 45 years!

While several honorees were not in attendance, this photo represents 195 years of combined service. That’s nearly two centuries of investing in students, building relationships and helping shape the Hesston Experience.

People stay at Hesston because this is more than a workplace. It’s a community that cares deeply for students and for each other. We’re grateful for the dedication, wisdom and heart these employees bring to campus every day.

Something new is taking shape at Hesston College 💪
We’re building a new student fitness room — a space designed to support wellness, community and the everyday student experience.
This summer, we’re inviting alumni, parents, friends and supporters to help bring the project to life before students return this fall.
Every gift moves the project forward and helps create a space our students can use to grow stronger — physically, mentally and together.

From peaceful garden strolls to laser tag rivalries 😄🌿⛳

We hit pause earlier this week to celebrate an incredible year and the incredible people who make Hesston College what it is. Faculty and staff spent the day together at Botanica, The Wichita Gardens and All Star Sports enjoying great food, plenty of laughs and even better community.

One of the best parts of working at Hesston College is the people — the relationships built across campus, the encouragement shared along the way and the chance to do meaningful work together every day.

A huge thank you to the generous donors who helped make this employee celebration possible. Your support created space for our team to relax, connect and celebrate a year of serving students together.

(And yes … some competitive mini golf and go-kart bragging rights may have been earned 👀)

Hesston College’s story is shaped by generations of students, families and faculty whose connections to the college stretch across decades. The Mininger family legacy spans nearly a century, reflecting this legacy quite clearly.

In his own words, Jim Mininger Ac61 reflects on the ways Hesston College shaped his family across three generations.

The votes are in 🏆🎓

After some VERY official vote counting procedures (and gently ignoring a few repeat voters who were perhaps a little too passionate 😅), we have a winner!

Congrats to Eliana Rivera for cap #18 and taking the crown by a landslide 👏

The competition was strong all around with nearly every cap receiving votes. The creativity from the class of 2026 definitely showed up one last time 🎨✨
