GREETING from T STAFF, 2 the FOUR C's of CHRISTMAS, 8 ' "1 ' N FOR SEVEN L Beve BY PAT ANDREWS Many are the songs Christmas sings. Many are the rituals to which we cling. Whatever gift the season may bring, let it be love more than any thing! GREETING FROM T STAFF, 2 THE FOUR C's OF CHRISTMAS, 8 Left to right: Roy Adams, Jackie (Ordelheide) Smith, Myron Widmer, William Johnsson, Carlos Medley, Kit Watts, Eugene Durand, Chitra Barnabas At this season of hope, may you find joy in the birth of Jesus, God's Son, and in the promise of His soon return. We, the staff of the Adventist Review, wish you happiness and the assurance of salvation. We thank you for your interest and support, your letters and articles, your prayers and thoughtfulness. We also thank our columnists—Miriam Wood, Calvin B. Rock, and Gary M. Ross—for their ministry. Among the many beautiful things that came our way in 1991 was this letter from William L. Adams, of Beavercreek, Oregon: "Recently an academy senior came up to me and asked, 'Mr. Adams, would you help me with a problem?' He told me that his mother had had an outstanding academy bill from more than 20 years before. She married and had children, then the family sacrificed for their own children to have a Christian education. So she was never able to pay off the old debt of about $600. "The young man asked me, 'Would you help me raise the money so I can secure the diploma for my mom this Christmas?' I was taken back by surprise, but agreed to help him. I phoned the educational office of the conference and also sent a letter to the conference treasurer, asking for his assistance. "All parties involved were amazed at the young man's concern for his mother. People began to donate items to sell in order to help him. He also sold materials to raise money. Soon he had several hundred dollars in his savings account. "The conference and the academy agreed to a 50 percent settlement. In less than eight weeks the student had raised the needed funds and received a letter from the conference treasurer giving him the decision of the committee and complimenting him on his love for his mother. "I took the $300 to the conference office and received the diploma. When I gave it to the young man a few days later, he said with tears, 'What a grand Christmas this will be for Mom!'

    WORLD PA~fTERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education WORLD PA'ITERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education Christian EDUCAiiON An Adventist Essential Sixth Revision, 1993 Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... 3 Placement Recommendations ..................................... 4 Abbreviations and Symbols . 5 Categories of Seventh-day Adventist Schools . 6 Abbreviated Symbols for Countries without SDA Schools ................. 7 Patterns of SDA Education (Countries in Alphabetical Order) . 9 Bibliography . 187 Index of Names and Places . 195 3 PREFACE The General Conference Department of Education coordinates the educational work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from a global perspective. World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.

The book includes data and information on our faculty, students, administration, physical resources and revenue sources. For the 2016‐2017 academic year, there have been many notable accomplishments by UOG, to include: Student enrollment for Fall Semester 2016 was 3875 which is an 18% increase over student enrollment in Fall 2006, and represents on average a 2% increase per year over the past 10 years; 551 degrees were conferred, expansion of our athletic programs; the Good to Great initiative continued to be implemented helping UOG in realizing its potential; University‐generated revenues were $54.2 million of the total revenues and contributions of $89.3 million. Since our beginning in 1952 as a teacher training junior college in Mongmong, the University of Guam has grown into the largest U.S. accredited institution of higher learning on this side of the international dateline and has graduated over 17,200 students who are now engaged, dynamic professionals in Guam, our neighboring island communities and across the world. Today, the University offers 26 undergraduate degrees and 14 graduate programs. We hope that the information presented here will highlight the many facets that comprise the University of Guam and will help you gain a greater understanding of the nature of the University.
