The Multnomah Family Team

The Multnomah Family team was founded by Dr. G (Garry Friesen) in September, 2025. The team has six volunteer alumni members committed to pursuing moral justice regarding the Multnomah campus. We are confronting Jessup University for this injustice. We also have a heart to continue the Multnomah legacy locally and globally.
