Judson University issued the following announcement on Jan. 20
World Leaders Forum will bring back the Inspirational Series featuring Special Guest Edward James Olmos on April 8 at Judson University in Elgin. The event will be hosted by entrepreneur Jacqueline Ruiz, who will also moderate a panel discussion with Rick Najera and Evelyn Miralles.
This event with Olmos is the fourth Inspirational Series event and the first developed and hosted in partnership with Jacqueline Ruiz, an entrepreneur, author and Latina pilot. Previous speakers at the event have been Magician Jim Munroe in 2017, Olympic Champion Mary Lou Retton in 2016, and Inspirational Speaker Nick Vujicic in 2015.
“I look forward to hearing from Actor, Director and Producer Edward James Olmos about the many ways his career has intersected with education and telling a larger story,” said Jacqueline Ruiz. “This will be an intriguing discussion with powerful Latinos who are making big impacts in their communities in the areas of entertainment, education and STEM.”
“Judson University is excited to bring another successful leader to the Fox Valley for an informative and thoughtful event that we know will inspire others,” said Judson President Gene Crume. “Edward James Olmos is an iconic actor and leader. There won’t be a better opportunity to hear his wisdom and that of our host, Jaqueline Ruiz, and our panelists as they explore issues that are important to the Latino community.”
Proceeds from this event will fund leadership, entrepreneurship, diversity, and RISE program scholarships for students at Judson University. The event will begin at 4:00 p.m. at the Herrick Chapel on Judson’s campus with general admission tickets starting at $25. VIP ticket purchasers will receive a meet-and-greet photo opportunity with panelists following the event.
