These scholarships were established in honor of Emeritus Professor Dr. Stuart Ryder, affectionately known as “Doc.” Doc was the founder of the Communication Arts program at Judson and a much-beloved professor over decades of teaching. The money for the awards came from the generosity of David MacFadzean, a former Judson professor who became a screenwriter and producer in Hollywood, most famous for “Roseanne” and “Home Improvement.”
