Merry Christmas from the Office of Parent Relations
The Fall 2016 semester has come to a close, finals were "survived" and your students are making their way home! Christmas is right around the corner and another year has come and gone. As you prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior I would encourage you to reflect on all that God has done, is doing and will do in the life or your student and your family this coming year. It is my sincere hope that you and your loved ones will feel the love of Christ this holiday season and that these next few weeks would be full of rest, renewal and peace. We can't wait to share another year with you and your students!

At Jessup, we have the unique opportunity of bringing people together from all walks of life, forming a strong community and creating bonds similar to a family. When asked what people cherish most about their time at Jessup, it always comes back to community. Community is part of who we are, and one of the things we stand for. Whether you spent your undergraduate years in the halls of our San Jose Campus, or walked up the ramp for the first time with your student this past August, you are now part of, and always will be, a member of our Jessup Family. Join us during Homecoming and Family Weekend as we reconnect and foster relationships both old and new to celebrate Jessup’s historic past, meaningful present and exciting future!
Below are just a few of the events that will be taking place during our time together.

Jessup Faculty Lectures
10:00 – 10:50am
Move Your Body, Fix Your Mind: How Exercise Supports Good Mental Health
Psychology Department - Dr. Erin Ambrose
Research has shown that active people are less depressed than inactive people. Exercise also can reduce anxiety and improve overall mood. This lecture will provide evidence for the connection between the body and the mind, plus give some great tips for using exercise as a mood booster!
Transformational Leadership for Everyday Relationships
School of Christian Leadership: Pastoral Ministry Department - Dr. Dennis Nichols
Some view leadership as a gift of an elite few who seek to influence others in order to get what they want. Well, that isn't leadership, that is manipulation! Come join Dr. Nichols for a practical discussion about a transforming way to "lead" others, whether with teens, a spouse, or in a work environment.
11:00 – 11:50am
The Changing Face of Global Missions
Intercultural Studies Department - Dr. Daniel Gluck
Serving in missions no longer equates to getting on a ship and sailing off to live in a mud hut in the jungle! In fact, many of the world's most unreached groups are now migrating to urban centers. This discussion will highlight some recent trends in missions including urban mission, business as mission (BAM), teaching as mission, and other 21st Century strategies.
The Ancient Israelite House
Theology Department - Dr. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott
This mini lecture will look at the ancient Israelite house, both its form and function, and how it helps us understand the world of the Old Testament better.
