Crystal graduated from JBU in 1985. After meeting her husband in Wichita and having two daughters in the Wild West (Dodge City), she found herself back in Siloam Springs in a minivan with two car seats - not something she envisioned as a carefree college student! Her husband of over thirty years, Tom, has been the controller at JBU since 1996, and their daughters, now both JBU grads, have long ago ditched their car seats. Crystal, also known to some students as the "chapel lady," is the one to see with questions about chapel attendance.
