There are federal and state regulations that guide the flying of the U.S. flag at half staff on our campus, including the recognition of Peace Officers Memorial Day on Wednesday, May 15.
Here's an announcement from the Michigan State Governor's Office regarding this order to fly the flag at half staff:
President Obama has ordered the flag of the United States lowered to half-staff on Wednesday, May 15 in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day. This recognition day falls during Police Week, May 12-18, 2013.
“It is a great honor to join with fellow Americans in paying special tribute to the law enforcement officers who serve and protect on the local, state and federal levels,” said Gov. Rick Snyder. “On this day, and every day, we say ‘thank you’ to the courageous and vigilant men and women who sacrifice much to ensure our safety, and we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in carrying out their sworn duties.”
There are other occasions throughout the year where the U.S. flag is to be flown at half staff. For a complete overview of those guidelines for the United States and, in particular, the state of Michigan, please review: Michigan Governor Rick Snyder's Website: Displaying the Flag at Half Staff.

Policy for Bicycles Left on Campus Over the Summer
AU Policy requires the removal of all unregistered, inoperable or abandoned bicycles from the campus. Campus Safety will attempt to contact the registered owners. If the owners are not located it will be presumed that they have abandoned the property. Any unclaimed or abandoned bicycles not claimed within the 60-day holding period shall be disposed of.
Policy for Vehicles Left on Campus Over the Summer
For all students who are leaving campus for the summer, AU Policy requires the removal of all vehicles on campus over the summer months unless the registered owner is present.
Dining Services is open to not only the Andrews community, but also to the greater Berrien Springs area. IF you enjoy dining on campus, here are two great incentives to make it an even more affordable option.
5% Back
For all those who open a Cafe Account with $400 or more, that individual will be given a non-refundable 5% account bonus. This cannot be redeemed for cash or returned to financial statements at any time, hence the "non-refundable" description. If you are a full-time student opening a Cafe Account you will also be saving another 6% by not having to pay tax on any meals at Dining Services. With this 6% saved throughout the semester on top of the previous 5%, a full-time student with a Cafe Account can save a total of 11% throughout one single semester.
Loyalty Card Program
Our Loyalty Card program is a new feature we offer to all those who have a Cafe Account. Account holders can bring their Loyalty Card to the Terrace Cafe whenever they buy a meal. Once they have purchased a total of ten meals, bring the card back to receive the eleventh meal free. This is the perfect program for anyone who eats at the Terrace Cafe on a regular basis. You may only have one Loyalty Card at a time, and there is no limit to how many cards you can receive in a single semester.
These offers are not applicable to faculty/staff. (Faculty/staff recieve a special employee discount.)

Just in time for tax season, Andrews University has launched an informational page regarding Form 1098T.

The direct URL is: www.andrews.edu/future/financing/sidebar/1098t_info.html.

We are thrilled to see many people joining the BIKES FOR CUBA project. We are happy to report that out of the 50 bikes we need, we have cash or pledges for 20! Praise the Lord. But we still have 30 to go. If you want to participate in giving the “tool of a lifetime” to a Bible worker or pastor, mark your PMC envelope as “Bikes for Cuba” or bring your check to the Master of Divinity Office. On behalf of all the Bible workers and Pastors who will receive bicycles, thank you!
Original Announcement
Come along for a Ride! Want to participate in our Study Tour to Cuba? This Spring break, a group of students sponsored by the Master of Divinity program will travel to Cuba to lead out in 5 evangelistic meetings.
Here is how you can participate:
Bible workers in Cuba go from place to place on foot. With long distances to cover and hot weather, it makes it difficult to reach their Bible interests. To this end, we are raising funds to buy 30 bicycles for these Bible workers. Each bicycle costs about $150. Here is your opportunity (or team up with a friend) to sponsor a bicycle. We already have commitments for 13 bikes!

From May 6-27 the Department of Religion is arranging an Evangelistic Field Trip to Cuba. Theology students and teachers as well as some former students, now ministers, will conduct evangelistic campaigns in various churches in the Eastern part of Cuba, and general education students will participate with public health
presentations, children program and more. Attached is the more detailed tour plan. There is still room for a couple of general education students who want to serve and share in this potentially mind and life changing experience.
ppetersen@andrews.edu All costs for the trip are covered by registration for this summer course RELG 360-04 (the cost is the same as a 3 credit class on Andrews campus, plus a $250 travel fee--the travel fee is subject to change).

Students will meet with Professor Demsky for 7 class periods * during spring semester in order to study the history and have a background on this ancient people of faith. This is a summer class and registration takes place at the end of the spring semester. (*These times will be determined according to student preference/schedules.)
In June we will journey to the sacred sites in the Piedmont Alps of Northern Italy - The purpose for the study of this topic is to bring to the student not only the historical and spiritual perspective, but also a personal experience of faith.

safety@andrews.edu On Oct. 10, at its regularly scheduled October meeting, the Lake Union Conference Executive Committee voted to proceed with construction of a new headquarters building on recently purchased property at the west corner of M-139 and Redbud Trail in Berrien Springs, Mich.
The need for a new building was precipitated by Andrews University's exploration to lease part of the office complex and the subsequent agreement to purchase the current LUC headquarters, which includes several buildings at the corner of M-139 and College Avenue in Berrien Springs. The purchase of these buildings allows expansion of the University campus and provides a place to locate the newly acquired Griggs University & International Academy, a distance learning and homeschool curriculum provider.
"As we plan our new office, taking advantage of efficiencies of size and modern construction, we will continue to enjoy the blessings of our long-term relationship and appreciation of Southwest Michigan and the Berrien Springs area," stated Don Livesay, president of the Lake Union Conference.
Floyd Brock, assistant to the president for special projects, is the construction manager for the new headquarters. Currently, the LUC is processing bids from general contractors for the project.
The Lake Union Conference Headquarters is one of nine regional offices throughout North America for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its administration and staff provide support and services for the Seventh-day Adventist churches and schools in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Their new suite is now on the south side of the Seminary building on the main floor. They occupy S203-207.

Andrews University employees will help make the Andrews Study Bible central in the life of Andrews University freshmen at the beginning of the 2010/2011 school year, according to Ron Whitehead, assistant to the president for spiritual life.
Whitehead says the Fall Fellowship Committee, with the support of University administration, has set a goal of giving every incoming freshman a copy of the new Andrews Study Bible. “We’re asking our University family to share in the cost of putting this outstanding resource in the hands of our new students. We want to make it clear that the Bible is an absolute essential in the Andrews experience and the Andrews Study Bible is the ideal gift to accomplish that.”
The University will assume the first $20 of the cost of the Bible, Whitehead said. “After that, for every $25 employee donation to the Fall Fellowship Bible fund, a new freshman will receive the Bible.”
The Andrews Study Bible, published by Andrews University Press, was released in June, with the official launch at the General Conference Session in Atlanta, Ga. Funded by Andrews University and the General Conference, with oversight from church leaders and the Biblical Research Institute, its publication marks the first time an Adventist publishing house has released a formal, full-featured study Bible.
Whitehead said pledges and donations will be received throughout the summer, with the goal of having pledges in hand for all new students by the opening of Fall Fellowship on Friday, August 13. The sponsored Bibles will be featured during the Friday and Sabbath meetings of Fall Fellowship, with a special dedication during the church service at Pioneer Memorial Church.
“We need to sponsor 400 Bibles to be ready for our freshman this fall. We’ll keep a running count over the summer, as pledges and donations come in, with reminders to employees of how they can help.”
• To make a pledge now and pay by September 30, send an e-mail to development@andrews.edu, or call Mary Nell Rosenboom at ext. 3124. She’ll record your pledge and you’ll get a payment reminder by September 30.
• To make a donation now by cash or check, give it in person, or send inter-campus mail, to Mary Nell in the Office of Development.
• To make a donation by credit card on the University website, click here.
• To make a donation to be paid over time by payroll deduction, call Mary Nell at ext. 3124. Please reserve this option for larger donations.

Andrews University’s Arboretum has recently groomed some new walking trails, dubbed “Trickett’s Thicket,” through the mature woods behind Garland Apartments. The trails will be formally opened and dedicated on Thursday evening, May 20, from 5:30–6:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend the ribbon-cutting and then take an inaugural walk with Dennis Woodland, professor of botany and chair of the Arboretum Council.
Trickett’s Thicket is dedicated to the memory of Andrews University alumni Wilson and Verda Trickett. They previously owned the property and dreamed of making it available to the campus community for the enjoyment of Michigan woodlands. In their retirement years, Wilson and Verda were beloved for their care and assistance to international students struggling to make ends meet. The Tricketts ran a food pantry, known as Project P, which continues to assist families in need today. Wilson served Andrews University in business management beginning in the 1940s. Verda was a school teacher in the Niles school system. They both passed away in 2002.
Guests to the ribbon-cutting and inaugural walk are asked to park behind Garland Apartments and follow the signs to the trail opening.

The Department of Nursing’s eight-year accreditation site visit was slated for 2010. This week, Feb. 22–24, five site visitors from the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC) spent time with the master’s and baccalaureate degree nursing programs at Andrews University to determine if they would continue to be accredited.

They spoke very highly of many aspects of the department and affirmed that their reputation was outstanding both locally and afar.
