This inspiring program explores themes of resurrection, joy, and spiritual reflection from Baroque, 20th-century, and 21st-century musical voices. Under the direction of Stephen Zork, this performance also serves as the graduate choral conducting recital of Jahaziel Gutierrez, marking an important milestone in his musical studies. Gutierrez will lead a chamber orchestra selected from the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra joined by organists Kenneth Logan and Brenton Offenbach. Community members are warmly encouraged to support Gutierrez and the university choirs in the student-led program that celebrates the Easter season with depth, beauty, and artistry.   Event Details:  Saturday, April 4  7:30 p.m.  Howard Performing Arts Center      Contact the Howard Performing Arts Center <a href="https://howard.andrews.edu/">https://howard.andrews.edu/</a>   ___________________   Andrews University Singers Conductor: Stephen Zork The Andrews University Singers is the select choir of the Department of Music and represents Andrews University locally, nationally and abroad through concert tours, television broadcast and audio recordings.

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:51:50 +0000 Outside the Profession http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/69013 The Center for Adventist Research is pleased to host the photo exhibition “Outside the Profession: Ukrainian Adventists Among Volunteers,” created by Ukrainian photographer and public figure Vladyslav Tupchienko. Through Tupchienko’s lens, the exhibition presents individuals who stepped beyond the boundaries of their professions in order to serve their country during wartime. Among them are both Adventists and non-Adventists—IT specialists, physicians, students and pensioners—united not by social status but by a shared sense of responsibility. Each portrait is accompanied by a brief biographical reflection, inviting viewers to encounter not only faces but also stories of sacrifice, resilience and conviction. Although shaped by the harsh realities of war, the exhibition ultimately bears witness to light: to human dignity, compassion and the steadfast commitment of those who quietly sustain their nation. As Tupchienko reflects: “This project is also a testimony of our time—a testimony to how we lived, how we helped one another, and how we stood together. It is a historical lesson that must remain in memory forever: so that it is never repeated, and so that future generations will know that we endured in part because of these people—because of the light they carried.” Location: Center for Adventist Research Ground Floor, James White Library Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:49:16 +0000 Adulting 101: Salary and Benefits Negotiation http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68966 Join us for this interactive workshop that will empower you with the skills and confidence to navigate salary and benefits negotiations during the hiring process.
