dr. j. hoyt and joanne bowers ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP

 

 

Background and Historical Information

Dr. J. Hoyt & Joanne Bowers have given over forty-five (45) years of service to Wayland Baptist University in the School of Mathematics & Sciences.  Their life’s mission has been to teach students science with a Christian influence showing how exciting learning about what God created can be.  They believe and have practiced the principle that Wayland is and should always be about students.  Dr. and Mrs. Bowers have been responsible for securing twenty-three (23) science teacher training grants for Wayland to improve science teaching in Texas public schools.

“It has always been a blessing to know that we were doing what God called us to do in the place He wanted us to be.  We have never felt we were supposed to serve anywhere else.”

The Bowers have one son, Mark, a graduate of Wayland and two grandchildren, Cameron and Raylyn.
