Actor to discuss business at Judson University
ELGIN - Actor and entrepreneur Terrence Howard is the featured guest for the second Conversations with Mark Vargas event July 9 at Judson University in Elgin.
Judson alumnus Mark Vargas will host a discussion with Howard about life, business and finding inspiration.
"The world knows Terrence Howard as an actor who's starred in some of the biggest films and television shows in Hollywood. But more than an actor, he's also an entrepreneur and an inventor," said Judson President Dr. Gene Crume.
Howard starred as Lucious Lyon in Fox's "Empire" television show. He has a strong interest in science and more than 70 design, trademark, and utility patents pending. These are based on his scientific research and pursuits, which include 4D geospatial mapping and future environmental and terraforming services.
Proceeds from this event will fund entrepreneurship, diversity, and RISE program scholarships for students at Judson. Tickets are available at 2021wlfconversations.eventbrite.com.
