The rankings are out, and once again Andrews University has been named one of the “Best National Universities” for 2012, as reported in U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges 2012” issue. Andrews was also recently ranked on Forbes.com’s 2011’s “America’s Best Colleges.”
Out of 280 institutions, only 101 private institutions are classified in U.S. News & World Report as national universities and Andrews is the only Seventh-day Adventist institution included in this classification.
Andrews University made a few other U.S. News & World Report college ranking lists, too: with a diversity index of .71, the University tied for 5th in Campus Ethnic Diversity. (The closer a school’s number is to 1.0, the more diverse it is.) And with 12% of our student body composed of international students, Andrews tied for 8th in Most International Students.
Forbes.com also ranked Andrews University #545 in “America’s Top Colleges,” a compilation of the 650 best educational institutions (out of more than 6,000) across the country. Forbes gives an overall rating and smaller subcategory ratings; Andrews University also made the lists “Best Private Colleges,” “Best Research Universities” and “Best in the Midwest.”
The University has also seen an increase in enrollment, with 3,547 undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students on campus this September, the second highest ever. Last year’s enrollment as of Census Day was 3,487. Total credit hours being taken this fall are at an all-time high. The 2011–2012 enrollment is almost evenly split between undergraduate and graduate students, with 1,844 undergraduate students and 1,618 graduate students including ministerial and professional degrees.

The Andrews Study Bible will soon be available as a digital product through a partnership between Andrews University and Logos Bible Software, the largest developer of software for the Christian market and a worldwide leader in multilingual electronic publishing.
“Getting the Andrews Study Bible from Logos Bible Software is an easy process,” said Erno Gyeresi, associate director of Andrews University Press and managing editor of the Andrews Study Bible product line. “All you have to do is connect with Logos on the web (www.Logos.com/AndrewsStudyBible) from a desk-based computer or download an app for a mobile device, register as a customer, and purchase the product.”
Gyeresi said that new Logos Bible Software customers would want to purchase the complete package of the Andrews Study Bible, along with the New King James Version of the Bible. The package retails for $39.95. Current Logos customers who may already have the New King James Version from Logos in their digital library will only need to buy the Andrews Study Bible Notes product, which includes all original content in the Andrews Study Bible. That retails for $29.95.
“At the beginning of the Andrews Study Bible project, we promised Adventist church leaders, who helped make it all happen, that we would produce a retail edition, an outreach edition and a digital edition,” Andreasen said. “We’re pleased to report that with the release of this digital edition we have delivered on all three promises.”

Berrien Springs, Mich.—Along with a new physical location, the former Office of Graduate Admissions now has a new name: the Office of Graduate Enrollment Management. In addition, they are taking steps to streamline processes while going “green.”
The Office of Graduate Enrollment Management is responsible for recruiting and assisting students with applying, admitting and enrolling into graduate programs. “This name change better reflects our integrated approach,” says Christon Arthur, dean of the School of Graduate Studies & Research.
To make room for Griggs University employees, several offices in the Administration Building were either reconfigured or relocated, including Graduate Enrollment Management. Their new office suites are located on the third floor of the Administration Building. The staff in Graduate Enrollment Management include: Carolyn Hurst, director of graduate admissions; Eileen Lesher, international transcript articulation specialist; Angelica Munoz, assistant director of graduate admissions; Lizzy Salazar, graduate enrollment coordinator; Muriel Mercaral, international transcript associate; Richard Sylvester, graduate admissions clerk; and Monica Wringer, graduate admissions coordinator.
Arthur says, “We are also working with great alacrity to fully automate the admissions process.” The first step was to move graduate application processes fully online—including online recommendations. After August 1, 2011, Graduate Enrollment Management will no longer accept paper applications except for the DMin and MAPMIN.
The online application fee is more affordable than the paper application fee, resulting in savings for prospective students, plus it reduces paper waste, which is good for the environment. The information provided in an online application will be more legible, minimizing the opportunity for mistakes to occur. “There are many times when we cannot effectively communicate with students because we cannot decipher their handwritten email addresses and other information,” says Arthur.
Incomplete applications will also become a thing of the past. Applicants can start the online application, then save it to finish later if needed. Once completed, the online application will detect if there is missing information and will not submit until all required information is included. “There are times when applicants expect an admission decision but we cannot process their application because it is incomplete,” says Arthur.

Is it wrong to always be right? Absolutely not—if you are referring to your bicycle and how to ride your bicycle. The month of May was Bicycle Safety Month and there were plenty of events. However, in the month of May you may have not had an opportunity to get on the road on a bicycle. Whether you select a used bicycle to fix up, buy a new one or decide to bring out the bicycle you have not rode in years, you need to be right in so many ways: the right helmet to wear, the right bicycle size, the right braking system, the right hand signals, the right bike lock and even the direction on how to ride your bike safely on a two-lane road must be on the right.
There is a guide for bicyclists and while not meant to be a legal document or a substitute for the Michigan Vehicle code, this booklet is very handy and entitled, “What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know.” It can be downloaded: http://www.lmb.org/index.php/component/option,com_jdownloads/Itemid,204/cid,8/task,view.download/
Additionally, please remember if you have a bicycle on campus, it needs to be registered at the Office of Campus Safety. Registration of your bicycle is a means of loss prevention.
Andrews University policy requires the removal of all unregistered, inoperable or abandoned bicycles from the campus. The Office of 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.
Enjoy the road with just the right attitude!

Dear Colleagues:
New buildings on campus are often named after the donor(s) who made them possible, e.g. Chan Shun Hall, Tan Hall, the Howard Performing Arts Center and Buller Hall. In addition to these we will now have another name, also in recognition of a major donor, and that is for the new residence hall. It will be named Frank and Anna Damazo Hall, which along with Burman Hall will make up University Towers.
Additionally, you are aware that the University is buying the Lake Union Conference building to house Griggs University and other Andrews University functions dealing with our off campus activities once Griggs University comes to Andrews and the LUC has moved to new quarters in town.
I have received the recommendation that this facility be renamed Griggs Hall, after Frederick Griggs, a leading Adventist educator in the past here at Andrews and elsewhere. I am considering that recommendation for two reasons: It preserves the name of our own former Griggs Hall and it maintains the identity of Griggs University once it becomes fully a part of Andrews. Both were named after the same Professor Griggs.
This is an invitation for you to comment on that recommendation for the new Andrews facility. If you wish to do so, please send your comments or observations to me this week at neaa@andrews.edu.
Sincerely,
Niels-Erik Andreasen
