     HR Staff Changes
    Human Resources welcomes a new face to our team, Julie Jones, and we bid farewell to another team member, Iris Chuah.

    Julie Jones replaces Marla Hayman as the administrative/service records assistant. Marla accepted a position as an human resources generalist at East Tennessee State University. We will miss Marla and congratulate her on this new step in her career. Julie is new to the Berrien Springs area, having moved here from Portland, Oregon, with her husband Nick. Please welcome Julie when you come through our office!

    Iris Chuah is leaving Andrews University to accept a position as director of human resources charged with the task of merging the operations of the HR offices of Hong Kong Adventist Hospital and Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital. Iris began her time at Andrews University in December of 1998. She has held her current position of Associate Director of Human Resources since 2003. Says Iris, “It has not been an easy decision to leave Andrews because I believe in the mission of this institution. I want to thank the HR team, the administrators, and the numerous individuals on this campus for the opportunity to have served a Christian institution.” We wish her well in her new endeavors and thank her for all the contributions she has made to the University.
