At 76, Harding student goes on mission trip
SEARCY, ARK. - Like many Harding University students on a recent spring break mission trip to Panama, Betty Fulop of Athol, Idaho, was compelled to work with the elderly, poor and abused. Unlike other students, Fulop already had experience in all three areas.

Fulop, 76, known as “Miss Betty” to her classmates and professors, is the only full-time Harding student who can claim five children, 15 grandchildren, and “five and a half great-grandchildren.” The sixth is due this summer.

She has become well-known to many Harding students since arriving at the university last fall. read more
