For Judy Jones ('74, '99), a love of school and learning grew to a love of communication thanks to her experience at Western Kentucky University, and now she has found a way to give back through her estate plans.Growing up in Leitchfield, Jones had always known about WKU, but a scholarship—and the convenient, not-so-far distance from home and the fact several high school friends had also chosen WKU—ensured she became a Hilltopper.When she started at WKU, she was initially interested in becoming a doctor or a social worker, but she soon found her place with a double major in Sociology and Mass Communication.
