Higher education: troublemaker Contributing Editors Tami Condon (BS ’91, MA ’13) or change agent? Becky St. Clair
Designer Niels-Erik Andreasen Matt Hamel (AT ’05) President Photographers Daniel Duffis (current student) American higher education is delivered by 4,000–6,000 (depending on how one counts) diverse, Tanya Ebenezer (current student) Darren Heslop (BFA ’10) expensive and at times unruly institutions! Adventist higher education is provided by 114 Andriy Kharkovyy (BBA ’06, MBA ’09) institutions, 14 of them in North America. They are more “orderly,” but even so from time to time Sarah Lee (BT ’02) both church members and leaders raise their eyebrows at our colleges. What has become of our Heidi Ramirez (current student) David Sherwin (BFA ’82) traditional, family-style campuses of yesteryear, and why do our sweet Sabbath School children Brian Tagalog (current student) grow up and go to college, they wonder! Well perhaps it is precisely those diverse, inefficient and at times unruly institutions that make college education so dynamic and effective. Think of the recent student demonstrations in the universities of Missouri, Yale and elsewhere—a bit messy perhaps, but they received national attention and things are changing. I admit some of this campus activity can be disconcerting and is not a really effective way of running a university, but it does draw attention to critical issues, raise important questions, propose solutions, and help make education a change agent in our society and also in our church. What would we have done without it? Think of the thousands of Adventist-educated leaders who guided the church expansion from one million members mostly in the north to 19 million primarily in the south, during the past 60 President Niels-Erik Andreasen (MA ’65, BD ’66) years, while holding on to church unity. Every one of them attended one or more of our colleges and universities. Provost Consider the growing awareness of gender, ethnic and national diversity in our world church.

Hardly a spot on this Vice President for Financial globe is left untouched by the Adventist witness, thanks to the ingenuity of our (mostly) recent Administration Lawrence E.

Annual Adventist IT conference In early November, the annual gathering of Adventist Information Representatives from all NAD higher education schools participated Technology professionals took place at Andrews University. All NAD higher education schools were represented either in person or as remote participants, including a representative from the Adventist University of Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. There were a total of 45 partici- pants, including 30 in person. Lorena Bidwell, chief information officer at Andrews University, says, “The greatest benefit of this conference is the opportunities for discussion, support and collaboration with other Adventist IT staff from all around North America.” The group discussed topics such as wireless networking, internal email systems, security, virtualization and more. “There are plans in place for us to collaborate to make an Adventist cloud of servers, which would provide redundancy for hosting Internet services in case of catastrophe,” says Lathan Bidwell, web programmer and developer at Andrews. This conference takes place on a different Adventist campus each year—the 2016 conference will be hosted by Loma Linda University.

FALL 2015 23 Andrews University officially launched its new University Health & Wellness initiative on Wednesday, September 23. The initiative will integrate five deeply connected pillars: physical, spiritual, mental, relational and professional wellness, but mainly focus on physical health and wellness to address the gaps that have been identified. It also includes the development and construction of a Health & Wellness Center, currently still in the planning stages. “I am thrilled about the incredible opportunity we have to utilize the foundational principles of health and wellness to improve, transform and save lives,” says Dominique Wakefield, newly appointed director of University Health & Wellness. The initiative was instituted by the Office of the President, which means she reports directly to the president. “My role is to provide expert executive health and wellness advice and to strategically coordinate all things health and wellness for students, faculty, staff and the community.” She will accomplish this task with the support and guidance of the newly established Health & Wellness Council, and the new Wellness Action Team, which will carry out the practical components of health, wellness and fitness within the campus and community. VISION The vision for the intiative, as approved by the first Health & Wellness Council, is Live Wholly, which is also one of Andrews University’s four core strengths. This intentional connection represents what the council feels their vision is—”to really pay attention to the process of living wholly,” says Dominique. They intend to focus on the process of positive change. Living wholly represents this ongoing process—creating a vibrant culture of health and wellness at Andrews University. HEALTH & WELLNESS COUNCIL

The council has been tasked by the president to serve as an advisory group for everything to do with the initiative on campus, as well as curricular credits to be earned by serving on the WAT.

Address Service Requested Photo by Darren Heslop, IMC staff photographer IMC staff Heslop, Darren by Photo
A crowd of over 140 eager spectators gathered in the James White Library on the evening of Monday, Oct. 26, to witness the unveiling of the long-anticipated commissioned portrait of Ellen G. White by artist Harry Ahn. Ellen White, a co-founder of the Adventist church, was a prophetess, preacher, missionary, mother and author of over 100 original and compiled books. An interview between June Price, University chaplain and Justin Torossian, seminary student and great-great-great grandson of Ellen White, produced insight into Ellen White as a person. Ahn painted Ellen’s husband, James White, a few years ago and was commissioned by Larry Onsager, dean of libraries at Andrews University (pictured at left with the artist), to paint Ellen White as a companion piece to the first.
