That’s a wrap on 2019! A lot has happened in the last year. We’ve had stories of loss, stories of overcoming obstacles, stories of almost forgotten campus history. These are the most widely read articles, and we have more planned for 2020.
1. Remembering Beneth Peters Jones, Lady of Talent and Grace

War Memorial Chapel has seen many changes since its building in 1947. Built in memory of WWII, the chapel also promotes art and music. First in a series exploring the history and significance of building names across the BJU campus.
We asked alumni to share their BJU Love Stories, and we received more stories than we hoped for. Enjoy reading the most memorable ones.
