A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
William Jessup University is a Special Place…
I
n retail there is said to be 3 keys to success, "Location, Location, Location." Here at William Jessup University at our Rocklin campus, we have the amazing gift of a location that God Himself provided in 2003. The first classes in 2004 experienced it, every class since then has experienced it, and
people who come on the campus today have experienced it. People regularly say, "There is something special about William Jessup University." I agree! It is true that Jessup is special in part because of our amazing location
in Northern California; geographically we are located under 2 hours from Lake Tahoe and about 2 hours from San Francisco and the Silicon Valley. Yes, our physical location is an amazing gift of God. But, I am very clear that Jessup is a very special place for more reasons than the physical location. I think what makes Jessup special is the spiritual
legacy, the spiritual atmosphere, and the spiritual future of our community. Jessup was built on a spiritual legacy of prayer and commitment to the Word of God. I am thankful to say that we continue to be a people of prayer and the Word. I believe the spiritual and prophetic future of William Jessup University is to be the leading edge of equipping the people of God for influencing our culture for His glory. Jessup is now preparing fathers and mothers, business leaders, teachers, pastors, missionaries, artists, and citizens to influence our world for the glory of God. In this edition, you will read stories of how God is at work changing lives in this special Jessup family. So, Jessup University is a special place. It is a place where Jesus, Scripture,
Relationships, and Transformation happen every day. Transformation and Relationships are present here at Jessup in classes, in dorms and apartments, in hallways and offices, at athletic and artistic events, and in every dimension of our shared life together. I personally believe the atmosphere that is being created here at Jessup is helping position Jessup as one of the leading Christ- Centered Universities in our nation. Jessup is not simply a place where you “go.” Whether in our San Jose location,
our Rocklin location, or at any of the other settings where people encounter Jessup, we know that Jesus and His Word are part of what makes the experience lasting and personal. I have been gratified these last several years to see the power of God to change lives here at Jessup and am thankful for your support to make that happen.
You make Jessup a special place.
John Jackson, Ph.D. President
