Wynonna Judd recently partook in a Professional-in-Residence at Belmont University, which allowed a small group of senior-level students to engage with the Country Music superstar in an intimate group setting.

Her second appearance at the program, Judd was joined by her manager Kerry Hansen and producer/musician Don Potter, creating an expert panel for discussion and Q & A. The trio conversed with students about selling their creative work and ended with a performance workshop.

The third and final session at the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business, to take place in January, will cover topics of career planning and financial responsibility.

In career-related Judd news, the singer announced yesterday plans for a third annual holiday tour, to take place across 15 cities beginning Nov. 28 in Hershey, Penn. A Classic Christmas Tour, named after the singer's top 10 Billboard holiday album, will be traveling coast to coast.

A statement on her Web site reads: "I take great comfort in tradition, and I have always loved the season of Christmas," she said of her Christmas album. "What the spirit of Christmas means to me is faith, family and fellowship. I'm excited to share those gifts with my fans on the road this year."
