Horn to today’s work at Tall Hisban in Jordan. While early generations sought to illuminate the biblical world through excavation, the field now faces new ethical and intellectual responsibilities. Drawing on a deep-time perspective, LaBianca argues that archaeology in the lands of the Bible must move toward partnership with local communities, fuller inclusion of Islamic and Ottoman pasts, and practices that build long-term trust. This shift—from expedition to collaboration, from extraction to stewardship—offers students a path to meaningful service and scholarship while sustaining the Adventist commitment to sharing the good news of the gospel.  Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:22:10 +0000 It's Always the Right Time to Visit Campus! http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68309 <style type="text/css"> .cgf-theme-base .cgf__control-tip { font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 1.4 !important; } .body .content-wrapper .content p { margin-bottom: 0; } </style>   Thu, 11 Sep 2025 09:43:39 +0000 Andrews Alumni Featured in Documentary Series http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67308 On Thursday, May 29, at 8 p.m. EST, and Sunday, June 1, at 7 p.m., PBS Michiana will air its newest installment of the "Legends of Michiana" documentary series. The program, titled “A Legacy of Care and Compassion,” will feature brothers Loren and Lowell Hamel. Born in Michigan, and with deep roots in the Andrews University community, the twins have made a significant impact on their local church and community. Growing up in a strong faith environment, both Loren and Lowell were called to serve their community of Berrien Springs, Michigan, as physicians. In 1976, both graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Andrews University. After attending Loma Linda University in California, they felt called back to Southwest Michigan to build and grow the community they grew up in. Both have worked to meet the health care needs of their community for more than 35 years, as primary care physicians and hospital administrators. For many years, Loren served as president and chief strategy officer and Lowell served as chief operating officer of Corewell Health (formerly Spectrum Health). Both Loren and Lowell have invested in the Andrews University community over the years. In 1990, they practiced medicine together at the University Medical Center on campus. Additionally, Loren Hamel has served as director of Student Health Services, clinical professor of nursing, president of the Alumni Association, chair of the J.N. Andrews Sculpture Committee, and member of the Board of Trustees and several of its subcommittees. The "Legends of Michiana" documentary series highlights people and organizations that have been influential to the growth and development of the Michiana area.
