Find Success at Judson

Knowing that Judson is like my second home made [for] a really smooth transition into college life and also gave me a really strong connection to the campus. For my internship with Owens & Associates Counseling , I helped with marketing and community outreach projects. I also attended local events, helped represent Owens, and spread our message and story. My professors have done an amazing job preparing me for my internship opportunities, and wherever the Lord calls me to go next.”
