This issue of Gleaning is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Stuart “Doc” Ryder, who served Judson University for over fifty years as a professor, administrator, advisor, coach, and mentor. He was the architect of the Communication Arts program as well as the English literature and writing curriculum. He was much beloved by generations of students and colleagues and will be missed by all who knew him.

June 19, 1931-May 4, 2021.
