Change Day
The first-ever Change Day for Andrews University was held on Sept. 14, 2017. Approximately 1,600 students, staff and faculty participated at 63 sites spread around Berrien County. Projects ranged from painting a mural in a school, cleaning beach areas and parks, removing brush and mulching, to offering hundred of high schools information about career choices. The ultimate goal is to build a culture of “Presence, not just residence,” according to Provost Christon Arthur. Those impacted by the efforts of Change Day were overwhelmingly positive and appreciative of the results.
Michigan's state representative Fred Upton sent greetings and thanks to the students and faculty for their work in the community.
The initiative is meant to continue year-round through efforts of the Community Engagement Council to encourage the Andrews community to volunteer on a regular basis. Please explore the opportunities for involvement that will be added to this site on a regular basis and sign-up to make a difference where you live!
