  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

    Register of the College, University, NAD Academy, and Overseas School Bulletin Collection Heritage Microfilm 051 Adventist Heritage Center James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 49104-1400 1986 Revised 2016 School Bulletin Collection–page 2 College, NAD Academy, and Overseas School Bulletins Heritage Microfilm 051 Scope and Content This collection of microfilmed documents constitutes the General Conference Department of Education’s collection of bulletins or announcements of colleges and academies, NAD as well as overseas. In many cases it includes the first bulletins issued by the schools. The bulk of the collection is from North American schools, though some overseas schools are included. The completeness of the coverage of the overseas schools is not usually very strong compared to the North American schools. A typical school bulletin includes a history, a description, and philosophy of the school, financial information, a description of the curriculum, a roster of the faculty, and in some cases a listing of former students. The collection includes some informational booklets as well as student handbooks, promotional material, a few pictorial annuals, and other similar publications. For each school, a copy of the article pertaining to the school from the Seventh- day Adventist Encyclopedia (1976 edition), if any, was filmed before the first bulletin. Arrangement This microfilm collection begins with the bulletin of the earliest available year for each institution and concludes generally with the 1984/1985 school year, or the last year of operation for the institution if it is defunct. While this collection is quite complete, gaps do occur. No effort was made to fill these gaps because of time and cost considerations.

Overview of the Task Force Process Task Force Task FindingsForce We began with a series of meetings intended to inform ourselves about the current structure and processes within the GCSS. We gathered input from a variety of sources. The most extensive of these were from listening events with the ECEC-12 faculty/staff members and two community focus group meetings. These efforts culminated with a Town Hall forum open to the community. During these listening sessions, we focused on collecting feedback and understanding comments, suggestions, and questions.
