Marcie Lemos
As the Director of Parent Relations, it is my pleasure to provide you with resources to benefit both you and your student during this exciting chapter of their lives. At William Jessup University, we value the role parents and families play in the collegiate experience and look forward to partnering with you in supporting the success of your student(s). I encourage you to take an active role in both the life of your student and the WJU community.
Now more than ever we must invest our time and resources to build up and equip students for their life callings. I have a deep commitment to our mission of raising up transformational leaders for the glory of God. As a student, employee and former Jessup parent, I have personally witnessed first-hand the profound, life changing, transformational impact Jessup has in the lives of our students. I have great anticipation for what the Lord is going to do through your student and your family in the coming years! If you have any questions or suggestions of resources that you would find helpful, please reach out anytime!
