At our annual Founders' Day chapel on October 26, Dr. Paul Corts, President Emeritus of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, speaks to the Judson community on "Charting the Course for a Better Tomorrow." Happy November, friends. As we look toward the beginning of the holiday season, we are most thankful for the community that supports our university
and our students. We hope that you'll join us in the coming weeks for a music concert, a play performance, or a gallery reception, or that you stop by our campus cafe for a warm drink on a cold fall day!
