Adventist Review on Luxton as President-Elect

Andrea Luxton has been named as the next president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s flagship Andrews University, offering what colleagues call a stelllar track record in leadership as she joins a growing number of female presidents at Adventist institutions of higher education.

The Berrien Springs, Michigan-based university announced Tuesday that its board of trustees had elected Luxton, the university’s provost since 2010, to replace Niels-Erik Andreasen when he retires after 22 years as president at the end of the current academic year.

“I am excited and humbled by this opportunity to serve and lead at Andrews University,” Luxton said in a statement. “I look forward to the opportunity to carry on the incredible heritage of Dr. Andreasen’s two decades of leadership at Andrews University, and to find powerful and strategic ways to continue to support and serve the constituencies of Andrews University.”
