http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68588 <p> To honor its veteran population, Andrews University held a program on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, under the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs&rsquo; 2025 theme, &ldquo;Service to Our Nation.&rdquo; The event celebrated not only the men and women who have served in uniform but also the families who have supported them throughout their journeys.</p> <p> The program reflected Andrews University&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to fostering a campus environment that values both military service and academic excellence, a dedication recognized by its Gold-Level Veteran-Friendly School designation from the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency. This honor affirms Andrews&rsquo; commitment to providing comprehensive resources, personalized advising and a welcoming atmosphere for student veterans and their families, distinguishing the University as a leading institution for supporting veterans in achieving their educational and career goals.</p> <p> The act of honoring Andrews veterans reflects the University&rsquo;s mission of service, inclusion and gratitude. The veteran population brings a wealth of leadership, resilience and real-world experience that enriches classroom discussions and strengthens the Andrews community. By supporting these students, Andrews ensures that those who served their country can pursue their academic dreams in an environment that values their dedication and sacrifice.</p> <p> The Tuesday program opened with welcoming remarks from Chaplain, LTC, MIARING, Ret. Keith Mattingly, emeritus professor of Old Testament studies, who shared personal reflections on faith and service. Mattingly spoke about his 20 years of service, including deployment during Operation Desert Storm. Quoting President Abraham Lincoln&rsquo;s &ldquo;Second Inaugural Address,&rdquo; he reminded attendees of the enduring duty &ldquo;to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan,&rdquo; emphasizing the timeless call for compassion and peace.</p> <p> Following the Pledge of Allegiance and a rendition of &ldquo;The Star-Spangled Banner&rdquo; performed by Chaplain, LTC, USAF, Ret. James North Jr., emeritus professor of pastoral care, the audience joined in a moment of silence to honor all who have served and continue to serve. The event continued with a heartfelt prayer by Caden Victor, an Andrews University student veteran, who expressed gratitude for veterans&rsquo; sacrifices and prayed for strength, comfort and peace for their families.</p> <p> The keynote address was delivered by Pastor Taariq Patel, an Andrews University seminary alumnus and Army veteran, who spoke passionately about faith, perseverance and spiritual service. Drawing parallels between the biblical story of King Saul and the modern veteran&rsquo;s journey, Patel reflected, &ldquo;In God&rsquo;s army, there are no veterans and all are in active duty, serving right now.&rdquo; His message inspired listeners to love with purpose, courage and compassion&mdash;values that transcend military personnel and civilians alike.</p> <p> Patel&rsquo;s message was followed by closing remarks from John Wesley Taylor V, University president. The program concluded with a tribute slideshow showcasing photos from student veterans who have attended Andrews.</p> <p> In addition to the main ceremony, Andrews organized several campus activities to engage the University community. Students and employees participated in a &ldquo;Thank-a-Veteran&rdquo; card station in the Campus Center lobby, where they wrote personalized notes of appreciation while enjoying cupcakes. A special dinner, ordered from the veteran-owned Barnstormers Pizza, was also held for Andrews veterans and their families on Nov. 10, offering fellowship and recognition. These acts of appreciation and gratitude strengthened the connection between student veterans and their campus community.</p> <p> As Patel noted, &ldquo;The just shall live by faith, and that faith calls us to serve, to forgive and to keep moving forward.&rdquo; His words were a reminder that service and faith remain central to the Andrews identity. The 2025 Veterans Day program was an expression of thankfulness, reflection and unity, a testament to Andrews University&rsquo;s commitment to honor those who have served and to continue fostering a campus culture rooted in compassion and service.</p> Mon, 24 Nov 2025 15:23:47 +0000 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67544 <p> Rachel Barton Pine, a renowned violinist, suffered a life-altering accident in 1995 when she was severely injured in a train accident, resulting in the loss of her left leg and significant damage to her right foot.&nbsp; Through resilience and determination Pine has overcome her challenges and has become an acclaimed American concert violinist whose infectious joy and passion transforms an audiences&rsquo; experience of classical music as they listen to her play.&nbsp; She has performed with the world&rsquo;s foremost orchestras both locally and internationally and is a leading interpreter of the great classical masterworks.</p> <p> Please join us on November 23, 2025 at 7:00 pm at the Howard Performing Arts Center for a heart-warming concert by Rachel Barton Pine.</p> Thu, 20 Nov 2025 17:10:43 +0000 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68583 <div> The Andrews Agenda and Week in Pictures will be on hiatus from Wednesday, Nov. 26&ndash;Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025.</div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> The Andrews Agenda email will not be distributed on Thursday, Nov. 27.
