Bearden wins service award
University of Phoenix, the nation’s largest private university, has awarded alumna Judy Bearden with a Community Service Award for her commitment to volunteerism.
Bearden was recognized for providing support to the community in a variety of ways from organizing home projects for patients, to recovery efforts following the April tornadoes.
Bearden used her expertise as a nurse to provide on-site health care to tornado victims immediately following the storm, and also supported Ider High School in its effort to rebuild the music program.
“University of Phoenix is dedicated to supporting the communities we call home, so it’s an honor to recognize Judy with the Community Service Award for her commitment to donating her time and energy back to our local area,” said University of Phoenix Chattanooga Campus Director Marc Crosby.
