Of course, I learned how bad I am at math, how to know which professors are the most helpful, and how many minutes to leave before the rush at the end of an event. But living with a disability has taught me much more: how to be resilient, how to be a voice for myself and others, and how to make sure I am heard. </p> <p> My disability, muscular dystrophy, affects my mobility though I can walk some distances. I always knew I would be able to go to college but would need a mobility aid wherever I attended. I was a little nervous and embarrassed when I first got my mobility scooter. Sure, I had been a disabled individual all my life, but having a mobility scooter in college felt like I had a big sign saying, “I’m disabled.” I was worried people wouldn’t be willing to get to know me because of this giant elephant (or scooter) in the room. It would be another barrier that I would need to face. Little did I know that my mobility scooter would become my superpower. <br />  </p> <p> <<< Read the full story at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/my-scooter-and-i--">site</a> >>></p> Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:46:38 +0000 Andrews Professor Featured Symphony Soloist http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68317 <p> Under the weatherproof comfort of the facility’s new, open-air Woodland Pavilion, the Symphony performs a repertoire including Mozart’s Overture from Marriage of Figaro, Intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana, L’Arlésienne Suite No. 2, and Festive Overture.</p> <p> Principal horn and longtime local music educator Debra Inglefield is the featured soloist as the Symphony also performs Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 4 in E-flat.</p> <p> Ms. Inglefield, a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame, Andrews University, and Indiana University South Bend, has been with the Elkhart County Symphony since 1991 and has more than 30 years of experience in orchestral and band performance.</p> <p> <<< Read the full story at the Ink Free News <a href="https://www.inkfreenews.com/2025/09/05/elkhart-symphony-to-begin-season-announces-schedule/">site</a> >>></p> Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:53:36 +0000 Andrews to Attend LMC College Night http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68290 <p> Representatives from up to 50 colleges, universities, trade schools and branches of the military will be on hand when Lake Michigan College hosts College Night at the LMC Mendel Center from 6–7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15.
