Yet very few women hold senior leadership positions in the church. Is this a reflection of society or something unique to the Adventist church? Is there still a glass ceiling for women in leadership?</p> <p> <strong>Andrea Luxton</strong> has served the church in leadership roles in three different countries. <strong>She will explore this experience with the help of her favorite pieces of glass art, which may or may not be harder to shatter than a glass ceiling!</strong></p> <p> If you wish to contribute to a Women's Scholarship Committee Fund, visit our <a href="https://u3048798.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=JnoxT0M11P9Os8APPF2aLgNxioJZJ2ys0iDamDHg4j5t6d8IVErRa-2Fi-2BX-2BpqedZ27wBe_qXXIY1fr7HINeQlTFVXABhUiWrgkcJSxzkrXVl5-2BEywOQEOmSB7RPzFrhMmZ8GtLshhuts5anOGiVT5GCWTtJ1vk8Gf4pERyP-2B1zDNkTbZPvxuXE-2BNujUR3ixKs6VLJVWLzkirIxsdOG-2FTCMC3-2F3Lg4GT9iJz83fFU-2BZ4Vm8kvpXerMT8fkPpVJzCiocyaEmTHy74xQJ2-2Fxfk-2B1HRQR9kg-3D-3D">giving page</a> for a list of endowed scholarships.

Scott Kelly, recently completed his record-breaking year in space (March 2015-March 2016), and has laid the groundwork for future space travel and exploration. He orbited the earth 5,440 times, traveling an estimated 143,846,525 miles in the International Space Station with Russian Cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko.</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.6em; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, sans; background-color: rgb(15, 67, 114);"> The two space travelers garnered beneficial knowledge about the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges faced by astronauts during long-duration space travel by conducting experiments, reconfiguring the station modules and taking three space walks. Included in the research was NASA’s Twin Study, which used Kelly’s identical twin brother, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, as the control model on Earth to better understand how space affects the human body.</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.6em; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, sans; background-color: rgb(15, 67, 114);"> During this extraordinary year, Kelly became a celebrity, captivating the world with his live interviews and never-before-seen photos from space. It earned him a cover on Time, interviews on NBC’s Today and features in Forbes and on CNN. By the time he returned to Earth, his Twitter following exceeded one million. Based on this one-of-a-kind adventure, Kelly will speak to The Club about <strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">“The Sky Is Not the Limit: Lessons from a Year in Space.”</strong></p> Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:40:02 +0000 Wellness Center Campaign on WNDU http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/43744 <p> Andrews University's plans for a new Health & Wellness Center were recently <a href="http://app.criticalmention.com/app/#clip/view/24519002?token=">presented on WNDU,</a> an affiliate of NBC. </p> Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:05:10 +0000 Health & Wellness Center Campaign Open House http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/43472 <div title="Page 4"> <div> <div> <p> Come learn about the programs to be housed in the new health and wellness center.
