Fall 2016 at Andrews University The 2016–2017 school year

The measure of Andrews University is evaluated in a number of ways each fall, from rankings of the University and its programs compared to other colleges and universities nationwide, to its annual fall census. Andrews University enrolled 3,349 students for the 2016–2017 school year. In terms of enrollment rates, Andrews University had some positive changes this year. Most significantly, the University’s first-time freshman numbers grew from 274 to 305 on census day—an increase of more than 10 percent for that student group. “Our success in new freshman enrollment this fall is especially exciting,” says Randy Graves, vice president for Enroll- as having the eighth highest percentage of USA Today/College Factual ment Management. “Andrews University is international students, tied with Purdue A new ranking that began just a year one of only four Adventist universities and University and University of Rochester. ago is a joint effort between USA Today colleges in the North American Division The University was included in a num- and College Factual.

ACROFEST

Andrews University hosted the 25th annual Acrofest, an event that brought close to 900 Seventh-day Adventist gymnasts together from 22 Adventist academies and colleges across North America and as far away as Antillean Adventist University in Puerto Rico, from Nov. 10–12, 2016. Each year, a different Seventh-day Ad- ventist college hosts Acrofest, offering gymnasts an opportunity for spiritual renewal and a chance to collaborate with other gymnasts, including a live final performance on Saturday night. The first Acrofest was held in 1991 at Andrews University. Under the leadership of Coach Robert Kalua, that first Acrofest drew 600 gymnasts and their coaches. By creating a non-competitive atmo- sphere, Acrofest helps establish opportunities for quality instruction, education and team development within the Adventist educational system.

SciFest 2016 SciFest 2016’s theme, “Space,” drew students from four different states and as far as Minnesota, including six Adventist academies, to participate in hands-on experiments in the areas of agriculture, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics and physics.

Teams of four–six students rotated between the various activities, all relating in some way to the concept of “space.” The weekend culminated with a Quiz Bowl gameshow where the students put their STEM knowledge to the test. The top two teams earned scholarship money. An ArtFest also hosted students during the same weekend of October 21–22.

“SciFest is an awesome hands-on STEM experience that challenges advanced academic achievers and excites them with possibilities for further studies and career opportunities in STEM fields,” says Monica Nudd, STEM enrollment coordinator.

This was the fourth annual SciFest & ArtFest event that Andrews University hosted, with over 70 students in attendance.

Fall 2016”—25

by Becky St. Clair

At 5:45 on Saturday evening, Oct. 22, 2016, a crowd of cars and people gathered in the parking lot behind Pioneer Memorial Church on the campus of Andrews University. Bags and boxes of food were transferred between vehicles, gallons of water were strapped into a saddle bag on the back of a bike and small groups wandered between each other, exchanging cell phone numbers and comparing notes. It was about to begin: Five individuals were preparing to bike or run 100 miles from the campus of Andrews University in Michigan to the Water Tower Place in downtown Chicago. “This is something I’ve wanted to do for more than five years,” explains Kostyuk, who, along with Glanz, had been training specifically for this run for nearly ten months. “I’ve done marathons and I run regularly for the fun of it, and I wanted to challenge myself.” Glanz and Kostyuk have known each other for only a couple of years. In that short time, however, their rela- tionship has grown beyond typical as they’ve run and biked together countless miles and hours. In his native Germany, Glanz watched his father, a pastor, ride his bike to each of his churches to preach. As he grew into a young man and then an adult, Glanz fell in love with mountaineering. With mountains a few short hours away, he was able to regularly participate in rock climbing, high altitude climbing, ice climbing and big mountain skiing. He has summited Mt. Blanc, the highest peak of the Alps, several times. Now, Glanz regularly jogs his commute to work, a distance of six miles one direction, sometimes alongside his 6-year-old daughter bicycling her way to school. This commute is more than just travel time or physical activity. Glanz considers it bonding time with his daughter. “We talk while we pedal and jog,” he says. “She tells me what she dreamed last night or what she thinks of school. I ask her about her friends, her teachers and her life.” As a result of regular Sabbath afternoon hikes on the Appalachian Trail, Kostyuk became accustomed to hiking 18 miles at a time. He and his wife also regularly went diving in Florida, and after doing several marathons, Kostyuk now laughingly refers to them as “little jogs.” In 2016, Kostyuk and Glanz completed a couple of marathons (26.3 miles each), and some 30-, 40-, 50- and 60-mile runs. The buzzword for this kind of athletic prowess is “ultra-running.” “We call something ‘ultra’ when it is further, higher or deeper than what one would consider being just far, high or deep,” explains Glanz. It’s not a term reserved solely for running or even just physical activity. “Everyone has an ultra,” says Kostyuk. “An ultra is anything beyond your comfort zone in every aspect of life: Studying, love, public speaking, parenting, etc.

“It is a struggle to fake the confidence I need and want. While everyone else is admiring themselves, I am judging myself, being tormented and crushed inside under the weight of my own scrutiny. In order for that to change, I need to change the way I view myself.” —Jackie: The Transformation Project

In February 2016 Jackie Barrios, a sophomore speech-language pathology and Spanish major, was awarded a scholarship offered by University Health & Wellness valued at $3,500. Rather than tuition funds, the Transformation Scholarship offered a total lifestyle makeover to one student who wanted and needed to make major health and wellness changes. “We thought, what if we could transform the life of one person to inspire the transformation of many?” explains Dominique Wakefield, director of University Health & Wellness. The scholarship included not only “before” and “after” physical exams, but a professional trainer, regular one-on-one meetings TOP: Audrey Castelbuono, with a professional dietitian associate vice president and counselor and a fitness for Development, presents tracking device.
