Find Success at Judson

The Judson community was an integral piece of the puzzle for me as I matured from a high school kid at 18 into an adult at 22. As a triple major in Management, Marketing, and Communications, Judson was somewhere I could be taught, but also somewhere I could begin teaching others and and also take a stand for my beliefs because I believed them, not because I was being told to believe them.”
