Join us in prayer 🙏

This morning, Judson student leaders, faculty, and staff gathered together for a prayer walk around campus, praying over each building and asking the Lord to move in extraordinary ways throughout the new academic year.

Alumni, we invite you to pray with us as we lift up the Judson community — our students, faculty, staff, and all who continue to be part of the Judson family.

Great Day Story: Gunnar Boley ‘22

What starts as a childhood dream can become something much bigger when it’s supported by faith, community, and people who believe in you.

For Gunnar Boley ’22, that journey began at a local ballpark with his dad and eventually led him to Hoffer Field at Judson University. Along the way, baseball helped shape not only his athletic career, but also his relational with God.

“As a Judson student-athlete, I was surrounded by teammates, students, professors, and coaches who helped me grow both on and off the field” Gunnar shares.

Today, Gunnar is continuing his baseball journey with the Rocket Squirrels of the Chicago Snowballs organization while working at Judson and pursuing a second degree. His story is a reminder that the impact of a Judson education extends far beyond graduation.

Through every chapter – from college baseball to professional opportunities – Gunner points back to the support, faith, and relationships that helped him get there.

“Judson is a community that invests in its people for a long haul, not just the four years.”
