To my fellow Braves,

As I return to Bradley—this time as president—I’m filled with gratitude for the people who’ve made this university what it is today. And that includes you!

Your ongoing generosity and commitment to Bradley have helped shape the experience for countless students. You’ve supported scholarships, academic programs, facilities, and so much more—not just writing a chapter of Bradley’s story, but ensuring its future.

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to creating a place where students can dream bigger, reach farther, and build lives of meaning and impact.

As we look to the future, I’m excited about what we’ll do together. Working towards our goals as one Bradley community is at the heart of what I want to uphold as president, and that means sharing the successes here on campus with partners like you who make it possible! Below you'll find some of the ways for you to stay up to date with everything great from the Hilltop. I encourage you to stay engaged however you can so you don't miss any of the exciting things to come for Bradley University.

With deep appreciation,

James E. Shadid

President, Bradley University
