Rispoli Hall- Lauren Jimison

Hi! My name is Lauren Jimison. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a degree in Christian Ministries and sports ministry concentration. I am thrilled to be the Resident Director of Rispoli and also to work in athletics. I have a heart for the Lord and for students! I am passionate about running, missions, and serving people. My favorite Bible verse is Micah 6:8: "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy,and to walk humbly with your God?"

Phillips Hall- Denise Apgar

Hey! I am Denise, and I am thrilled to be the Resident Director for Phillips Hall, as well as the Director of New Student Orientation.  I married my best friend, Dan, in 2009, and we just got back from living overseas in South Korea for nearly two years.  Life is an adventure!  I love to travel, learn about different cultures, photography, and spending time with people.  As alumni of WJU, we are both so excited to be back here in this close-knit community.  We hope to help students navigate through this pivotal time of their lives and to be soundboards for all their hopes, challenges, and ideas. We can’t wait to meet you!

My name is Nick Breitbart and this will be my second year serving at William Jessup University as a Resident Director.  I live in Tiffin Hall with my wonderful wife Sheri of three years and our son Titus.  As an alumni of William Jessup it is an honor to work with students in helping them become the men and women God has created for them to be.  In addition to my responsibilities as a Resident Director I also serve with Campus Ministries as the Assistant Director of Discipleship.  I love the outdoors, backpacking, sports, reading, and have seen every episode of Seinfeld at least 4 times.

Dean of Students- Ezra Johnson

My name is Ezra Johnson and I am the Dean of Students here at WJU.I love the Lord and want desperately for our beloved students to do the same, so I take on many roles at the University to foster a living and learning environment that challenges students in their spiritual vibrancy and all other facets of life.  It is my hope and prayer that He uses me as a vessel to call young men and women to His love and service, and empower them to discover their identity and calling in Christ. My wife, Molly, and I have two wonderful children – I owe so much of what I do to my family. My working and living background are rooted in the Midwest – Indiana and Iowa – which may explain my affinity to steak and potatoes, most things old-fashioned, and the Big Ten. I love challenging and thoughtful conversations, coffee, woodworking, basketball and ultimate frisbee.
