Jessup University President's Circle

03/24/2026

Today is Give:24—our one-day opportunity to invest in life-changing formation. 🙌

At Jessup, students are stepping into more than a degree—they’re stepping into who they’re called to be. Your generosity helps create a place where they are truly known, deeply mentored, and intentionally equipped to live and lead with courage, integrity, and faith.

Because of you, students are growing in confidence, discovering their purpose, and being sent out to make a difference in their communities and beyond. This is more than a moment—it’s a movement of transformation that lasts far beyond their time on campus.

Be part of the story. Be part of what God is doing.

Jessup family, we are entering a new season of leadership.

After fifteen years of faithful service as President, Dr. John Jackson will transition into the role of Chancellor as he prepares for retirement in 2026. In this new role he will continue to support donor engagement and key initiatives that strengthen Jessup’s future.

The Board of Trustees has appointed Dr. Parnell M. Lovelace, Jr. to serve as Interim President. Dr. Lovelace has been serving as our Vice President of Community and brings a deep love for the Lord, a passion for students, and rich pastoral and academic experience.

Please join us in praying for Dr. Jackson, Dr. Lovelace, and our entire community as we continue to pursue Christ-centered higher education that impacts our region, nation, and world.

If you visit Jessup's Welcome Center, you'll see a sign on the door that reads, "You Were Meant to Make a Difference, and We'll Get You Ready!" For students, this message is a heartfelt reminder that we believe in their potential to be the next generation of difference-makers. For the Jessup community, it's a call to action, a shared commitment to walk alongside our students, offering the support and encouragement they need to become the positive change we want to see in the world. https://bit.ly/41R11iO
