Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Jon R. Wallace
It is with great sadness that we share that Jon R. Wallace, Azusa Pacific’s 16th president, went to his eternal home. To honor Jon’s remarkable life, leadership, and contribution to Azusa Pacific University, the Wallace family has established the Jon R. Wallace Endowed Scholarship, with a significant initial gift. Consistent with Jon’s deep commitment to students and their ability to attend APU, this endowment will assist students with financial need who are committed to making a difference in the world through their APU education. The Wallace family requests that financial gifts in Jon’s memory be designated to this scholarship. Checks can be mailed to Azusa Pacific University, Attn.: University Advancement, PO Box 7000, Azusa, CA 91702, or online at apu.edu/give/.
