REDDING, Calif. - Simpson University will hold an information meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 23, to provide information on ROTC military chaplaincy.

Maj. Kurt Walling, Simpson University’s assistant professor of military science, said, “This is a great opportunity to come and learn about the benefits of military chaplaincy directly from an active duty Army Chaplain. Those who are considering attending seminary graduate school or beginning a rewarding career in the military should attend.”
