Adventist Review Writes on Andreasen Retirement

Niels-Erik Andreasen, who announced plans to retire after a record 22 years as president of Andrews University, will leave some big shoes to fill, friends and colleagues said Friday.
 

Andreasen is credited with bringing stability and growth to the flagship Seventh-day Adventist university in Berrien Springs, Michigan. He also oversaw major improvements to buildings and infrastructure, including the opening of the Howard Performing Arts Center and a state-of-the-art dairy, and the expansion of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, where he serves as a professor of Old Testament studies.

“He has been an excellent statesman and ambassador between Andrews University and the community, both the local community and the world community,” said Benjamin D. Schoun, chair of the university’s board of trustees and chair of the search committee that will seek the next president.
