International Flag-Raising and Parade

If you're living/studying/working in the area and have international roots, you are invited to sign up to participate in two colorful and meaningful Andrews traditions—the International Flag-Raising and Alumni Parade, to be held this year on Friday, September 26. You're welcome and encouraged to bring your friends and family to participate with you. You may also carry your flag in the Alumni Parade, which will organize at 4:30 in the Andrews Academy parking lot.

The flag raising is IMMEDIATELY following the parade, organizing on the International Flag Mall between the library and PMC at 6 p.m., ceremony starts at 6:30 p.m. While it's ideal if you participate in both events, it is not a requirement to be available for both. Please keep in mind that flag-bearers do not need to be natives of the specific country. Also, if you have international dress, you are invited to wear it for both occasions. 

Let us know your interest by emailing your name and country you would like to represent to Rebecca May at rmay@andrews.edu, or you can call me at Integrated Marketing & Communication at 269-471-3345. Be in touch soon because the flags will be assigned on first-come, first-served basis, and will run out fast! We will provide further details upon receipt of your response.

Be sure to look over the complete listing of Homecoming events—it's a very fun weekend for the entire campus! Details available at alumni.andrews.edu/homecoming.
