Admissions Team

My name is Sandy Castillo Guzman. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2016 with a degree in Chemistry. I recently moved to West Dundee, Ill., and love living in a new city. I look forward to helping and building relationships with new students as they begin their transition into higher education. I am happy to be a part of the ministry and community that makes up Judson University and look forward to sharing with new students all the great things Judson has to offer.

Samantha Collins is a Judson alumnus who graduated with a degree in Exercise Sport Science. She is an experienced enrollment expert and assistant basketball coach for the Women’s Basketball team.

Currently, Dr. Fennern serves as the Executive Vice President at Judson University in which she oversees adult, online, graduate, and traditional enrollment; financial aid; marketing; and intercollegiate athletics. During her time at the university, she has analyzed and implemented campus initiatives strategically and holistically while collaborating with each area of the university to advance strategic goals and vision.

I look forward to guiding students through the admissions process, while simultaneously building relationships. I am so thankful to be a part of such a great school and community! It’s a great day to be a Judson Eagle!
