Andrews University Agenda

Andrews University Agenda http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/ News and Events at Andrews University en-us Copyright 2024, Andrews University Mon, 6 May 2024 06:15:00 +0000 Mon, 6 May 2024 06:15:00 +0000 webmaster@andrews.edu webmaster@andrews.edu Andrews Receives National Science Foundation Grant http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65152 <p> The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded over $550,000 to a new collaborative project between Andrews University’s Department of Physics, Augsburg University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The project, titled “Propagation and Dissipation of Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Magnetosphere and Ionosphere,” seeks to reveal some of the unknown behaviors of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves that are located within the magnetic field and atmosphere of Earth. Eun-Hwa Kim, physics research professor at Andrews University, will be the lead researcher and principal investigator for the project.</p> <p> Under the NSF’s classification of a Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) project, the research aims to use various detailed simulations to answer questions about the compression and stretching of the Earth’s magnetic field due to EMIC waves. According to <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10078204/#:~:text=EMIC%20waves%20have%20been%20established,Thorne%20%26%20Kennel%2C%201971).">research published</a> by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), “EMIC waves have been established as one of several types of radio and plasma waves that play critical roles in the energization and depletion of the radiation belts and ring current,” both of which protect the Earth’s atmosphere.</p> <p> According to Kim, EMIC waves can be detected by satellites in the magnetosphere—the Earth’s magnetic environment—but only for very brief moments, making it incredibly difficult to study them. For this reason, studies on EMIC waves are relatively new. The project’s abstract explains “there are many unsolved puzzles related to EMIC wave propagation,” thus identifying the research’s necessity and relevance to modern discussions and understandings of physics.</p> <p> Kim states, “My observation team will research the frequency, polarization and where and when we detected these waves. The simulation team will launch the wave near the source where we believe [the waves may be] and then see how this wave propagates in different environments.” The various simulations will then be studied and further explored before Kim’s team publishes the findings.</p> <p> The EMIC wave propagation project was first approved for funding in September 2022, but several complications delayed the start of the research until this year. A four-year plan, ending in March 2028, has been developed, beginning with preliminary research and leading to simulations needed for further data collection. Kim expects that the first research paper for the project will be submitted by the end of this year, with more to follow as the project advances.</p> <p> Jay Johnson, professor of physics and engineering at Andrews University, will be working with Kim to set up the Andrews-based portion of the research. Mark J. Engebretson of Augsburg University and Hyomin Kim of the New Jersey Institute of Technology will be the co-researchers on this project. Kim and Johnson are also currently seeking an Andrews physics student to join the team as a research assistant. The student will assist the primary researchers and will ideally have a depth of knowledge in physics, a good GPA, and passion for research and knowledge.</p> Fri, 03 May 2024 11:30:15 +0000 Andrews University Spring Graduation http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65138 <p> Andrews University’s spring graduation will take place May 3–5, 2024. The weekend’s events will include a Friday evening Commencement service, Baccalaureate services on Sabbath morning and two additional Commencement services on Sunday morning.</p> <p> All Commencement services will take place at the Howard Performing Arts Center, and the Baccalaureate services will take place at Pioneer Memorial Church. Please note that in order to provide more seating for families and friends of graduates, Commencement is held in three separate services and is by reserved seating only. Overflow seating for the Commencement services is available in the Seminary Chapel.</p> <p> Additional academic and cultural programs are planned throughout graduation weekend. Consult the online schedule for a complete listing at <a href="http://andrews.edu/graduation/schedule">andrews.edu/graduation/schedule</a>.</p> <p> On Friday, May 3, at 5:30 p.m., Jo Ann Davidson, senior research professor of systematic theology, will speak at the Commencement service for the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and the College of Education & International Services. Her talk is titled, “One Last Time.” Davidson received her MA from Andrews University and her PhD from Trinity Evangelical School. She was the first woman to teach in the Department of Theology & Christian Philosophy in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. Davidson is the author of several articles, book chapters and books, including “Toward a Theology of Beauty” and “Glimpses of our God,” and she has a column in the journal “Perspective Digest.”</p> <p> Honorary degree candidate Donovan Noble, president of Maranatha Volunteers International, will be recognized at this service for his dedication to mission and support of churches, schools and communities around the world. Noble obtained his bachelor’s degree in management from the University of Oregon and went on to serve in the United States Air Force. He received his MA in religion from Andrews University in 1980. After holding several teaching positions at Christian academies and an executive position at a management consulting company, he became president of Maranatha in 1983. He has since spent over four decades leading out construction projects in 88 countries, involving nearly 100,000 volunteers in mission service around the world.</p> <p> On Saturday, May 4, Jim Micheff, president of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, will offer the address “World Changers” for both the 9 a.m. (graduate) and 11:45 a.m. (undergraduate) Baccalaureate services. Micheff began his pastoral ministry in 1994 in the Rocky Mountain Conference. Prior to his presidency, he was the executive secretary for the Michigan Conference from 2007–2017, where he also previously served for seven years as youth director and as a local pastor.</p> <p> Two Commencement services will take place on Sunday, May 5. At the 8:30 a.m. service, Annetta Gibson, professor emerita of accounting, will give the Commencement address “Mind the Verbs” for graduates of the College of Health & Human Services and College of Professions. Prior to her retirement from Andrews University in 2013, Gibson served as a professor, department chair and, from 1995–2006, dean of the School of Business. She holds a BA in business, an MBA, and PhD in accounting, and she is also a licensed CPA. Currently, Gibson conducts financial seminars around the world and provides treasurer training materials for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.</p> <p> Honorary degree candidate Dorothea Robinson will be honored at this service for her dedication to mentoring young people and preparing them for lives of service around the world. After graduating with a BS in nursing in 1962 and, later, an MA in education in 1973, Robinson spent her career as a nursing professional and educator. Over the course of her life, she has given special support to many youth ministries within the church and has spent time advancing several educational initiatives for students. With her husband, Byron Robinson, she currently works for the Byron Robinson Educational Foundation, a nonprofit that advances students’ academic journeys through scholarships and financial support.</p> <p> Mickey Kutzner, professor emeritus of physics, will deliver the address “Terminal Degree” at the 11:30 a.m. Commencement service for graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences. Kutzner received his BS in physics and mathematics in 1982 and MS in astronomy in 1984. In 1989, he obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Virginia. A dedicated educator, he began working as a professor at Andrews University that same year and continued to serve both Andrews and Griggs University until his retirement in 2022.

Baker, Jr., PhD, returned to Karnak temple in Luxor, Egypt in March to continue his work as an epigrapher on the Great Hypostyle Hall project. Baker joined a group of experts from a consortium of institutions under the direction of world-renowned Egyptologist Peter Brand from the University of Memphis, with authorization from Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.</div> <div>  </div> <div> The project’s aim is to create precise facsimile representations of the wall reliefs associated with the famous Great Hypostyle Hall in the temple of Amun at Karnak. Brand assigned the portion of the wall containing the Merenptah battle reliefs and the Hittite Peace Treaty to Mark Janzen, PhD, associate professor at Lipscomb University and Egyptologist at the Lanier Center for Archaeology at Lipscomb.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Baker currently works as a research associate with the Lanier Center and is part of Janzen’s team. He also serves as an epigrapher due to his specialty in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, history and culture. His task last year was to work on the famous Hittite Peace Treaty, the oldest known peace treaty between two major world powers. A copy of the treaty is prominently featured in the United Nations headquarters in New York City.</div> <div>  </div> <div> This year, Baker’s task was to finish work on the treaty with Janzen’s team. He was also assigned to document inscription reliefs of battles by Ramses the Great and his son Merenptah in the Holy Land on a section of the wall beside the peace treaty.</div> <div>  </div> <div> “The hieroglyph version that we are working on is 38 lines of extremely small text that is mostly intact, but portions of it are missing due to damage over time,” Baker says. “My task both last season and this season is to identify each hieroglyph, including those in the damaged areas, so the artist can quickly recognize what is damage and what is glyph.”</div> <div>  </div> <div> Baker expresses his belief that God blessed the project, allowing him to finish his field work on the treaty earlier than expected. Thus, he was able to help the rest of the team by checking the collation of hieroglyphs and associated battle scenes that the expedition artist had drawn from the previous season’s work. Each year, Baker reports, the team has recognized God’s hand in helping them accomplish much more than expected.</div> <div>  </div> <div> In his role at Andrews University Press, Baker has served as the managing editor of the “Andrews Study Bible” and the “Andrews Bible Commentary.” The Commentary, released in 2022, was written in a reader-friendly format by scholars of the church for the people of the church. In his professional specialty as an Egyptian archaeologist, Baker also serves as consultant to the world Pathfinder organization and will be present at this summer’s International Pathfinder Camporee in Gillette, WY. Each day, he will present the historical and cultural backgrounds of the program. The theme of the event is the experience of the Exodus, one of Baker’s areas of professional specialty.</div> <div>  </div> <div> # # #</div> <div>  </div> <div> To learn more about studying at Andrews University, please visit <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/admissions/">Enrollment</a>. </div> <div>  </div> <div> If you're interested in joining the Andrews University team, please see the list of available <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/hr/job_seekers/index.html">positions</a>. </div> <div>  </div> <div> We invite you to support the Andrews University mission by making a <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/development/">donation</a>.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Please read more about great things happening at Andrews University <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/feed/Agenda:+Campus+News/">here</a>.</div> Thu, 25 Apr 2024 10:13:47 +0000 Volunteers Needed for Lamson Hall Revitalization http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65081 <p> From May 12–June 2, 2024, Maranatha Volunteers International and Andrews University will carry out significant upgrades to Lamson Hall. Maranatha, a non-profit construction organization that works in conjunction with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, will provide volunteer labor and a website for volunteer sign-up, with the goal of 100 volunteers participating for the full three weeks. Andrews will provide lodging and food for volunteers in addition to the necessary materials. Andrews is also raising funds to cover the estimated $2 million in total project costs. So far—with contributions from the President’s Council, the Board of Trustees, and other gifts—over $1.1 million has been raised.</p> <p> “On behalf of Andrews University, I would like to extend the warm invitation to join us in this endeavor, through the support of your presence or through helping us fund the materials and furnishings for the renovation,” states University President John Wesley Taylor V. “And a special ‘Thank you!’ to Maranatha Volunteers International for their leadership and valued partnership in this endeavor. Together we will make a difference in the lives of our students, the candidates of God’s Kingdom!”</p> <p> The focus of this project will be to make as much progress as possible on Lamson West, where volunteers will perform a facelift to the original bathroom suites. Teams will also work on refinishing residence hall rooms with paint, carpet and moveable desks. It is anticipated that, as Maranatha involvement continues, the total project will span the next two to three summers.</p> <p> Lamson Hall was built in two sections with an overall capacity of 600 occupants. Lamson East was completed in 1947 with individual rooms and community bathrooms, while Lamson West was completed in 1967 with two-room suites and connecting bathrooms.</p> <p> Over the years, upgrades like carpet, paint, furnishings and Lamson East community bathrooms have been made as funds were available. However, the Lamson West suite bathrooms and the built-in desks in both sections of Lamson are original. While Lamson West desks are newer than Lamson East desks, the Lamson West desks are more in need of an upgrade.</p> <p> Student feedback has also reflected the necessity to change both the bathrooms and the desk set-up. “Each year we survey our residence hall students,” says Jennifer Burrill, assistant vice president for Campus & Student Life and assistant vice president for Residence Life. “Typically two students are sharing 140 square feet of space, and students have requested more flexibility with that space—the ability to configure their rooms as they like. In the 2022–2023 survey, residents could select from options of what they considered the most needed improvements in Lamson. Sixty-eight percent selected ‘remove built-in desks and replace with moveable desks’ and 56% selected ‘suite bathrooms.’ These were the top two needs according to residents.”</p> <p> As a result, the Residence Life team coordinated with Andrews faculty and staff through Change It Up Day, a campus beautification day in spring 2023, to replace the built-in desks in approximately 50 Lamson rooms. Now that process will continue.</p> <p> Maranatha volunteers will be provided lodging in Lamson Hall dorm rooms—on-campus full RV hookups will be available as well—and three meals a day. Local volunteers are invited to join, too, and lunches will be provided. Individuals with experience installing carpet (tiles), ceramic tile and plumbing are especially needed. The team asks for a one week minimum volunteering commitment. All interested volunteers, including local, should sign up at the <a href="https://maranatha.org/projects/tgid3279/#anchor-overview">Maranatha website</a>. Registration will close at the beginning of May.</p> <p> “We are excited that this collaboration between Andrews and Maranatha will result in changes to Lamson that directly meet our residents’ needs,” says Burrill. “We look forward to the upcoming work!”</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> # # #</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> To learn more about studying at Andrews University, please visit <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/admissions/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">Enrollment</a>. </p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> If you're interested in joining the Andrews University team, please see the list of available <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/hr/job_seekers/index.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">positions</a>. </p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> We invite you to support the Andrews University mission by making a <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/development/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">donation</a>.</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Please read more about great things happening at Andrews University <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/feed/Agenda:+Campus+News/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.</p> Thu, 11 Apr 2024 10:59:20 +0000 Symphony Orchestra Gives Final Season Performance http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65074 <p> The Andrews University Symphony Orchestra, directed by Marc Elysee, will give its final performance of the season on Saturday, April 20, at 8:30 p.m. in the Howard Performing Arts Center.

K-Anthony won the "Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year" category, for his album entitled “Arrow.”</p> <p> Reflecting on his win, K-Anthony expressed a mix of emotions ranging from joy to gratitude to sheer accomplishment. For him, winning the Juno award validates years of hard work, dedication and a deep-rooted passion for music. "This opens doors for me to do a lot more, where I’m placed center stage to share this wonderful message as a believer and as a disciple. I think it gives me more leverage to bring the message of Jesus Christ to a dying world.”</p> <p> He traces his musical journey to his upbringing in Jamaica, where the vibrant sounds of reggae and his musical influences shaped his unique style and message. K-Anthony’s songs are crafted with the lyrics front and center, but the underlying theme of his music is his love for God and hope for the future. He’s driven by a strong desire to bring that hope and sense of purpose in life to young people who feel lost and don’t know where to turn.</p> <p> K-Anthony almost didn't make it to “Canada’s biggest night in music.” He recalls his first big test of faith, which happened during an almost life-ending situation. As a child growing up in Falmouth, the capital city of Jamaica’s Trelawny parish, K-Anthony was reminded often to stay away from the water. One day, he decided to disobey his parents by following his friends to swim at a nearby beach when they were cautioned against doing so. He found himself pulled under a current twice and realized he was drowning. “When I was at church and the pastor said, ‘Whenever you’re in difficulty, call on Jesus.’ I then called out, ‘God please help me.’” After this near-death episode, K-Anthony promised to give his life to God.</p> <p> Growing up, he was inspired to become a track star. “I was established in my hometown as a 100-meter and 200-meter sprinter. So, it really affected me a lot when my mom took me from track and field and sent me to an Adventist school,” he said. After high school his mother suggested he pursue music in college. He would go on to earn a bachelor’s degree in music at Jamaica’s Northern Caribbean University.</p> <p> Looking ahead, K-Anthony aspires to continue creating meaningful music, collaborating with talented artists and reaching new heights in his career. He sees winning the Juno award as a catalyst for further inspiration, pushing him to explore new artistic horizons while staying true to bringing people closer to God.</p> <p> For aspiring musicians, K-Anthony offers words of wisdom: "Stay true to yourself, believe in your vision and never underestimate the power of perseverance and hard work. Allow your passion to drive you, and trust the journey.”</p> <p> <em>The <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/andrews-university-student-wins-prestigious-music-award">original version</a> of this story was posted by the <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org">Lake Union Herald</a>.</em></p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> # # #</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> To learn more about studying at Andrews University, please visit <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/admissions/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">Enrollment</a>. </p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> If you're interested in joining the Andrews University team, please see the list of available <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/hr/job_seekers/index.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">positions</a>. </p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> We invite you to support the Andrews University mission by making a <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/development/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">donation</a>.</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Please read more about great things happening at Andrews University <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/feed/Agenda:+Campus+News/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.</p> Thu, 04 Apr 2024 10:34:03 +0000 Innovation Week at Andrews University http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65016 <p> Innovation Week 2024 will take place on the Andrews University campus from April 1–5.
