On Sunday, March 1, 2026, the Employee Awards Celebration took place in the Howard Performing Arts Center.
Hosts Anthony Bosman, chair and associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, and Simona Mills-Pitcher, assistant chaplain in the Center for Faith Engagement, served as “secret agents” on a mission to recognize the dedication, achievements and impact of Andrews faculty and staff.
University employees were honored for their years of service as well as excellence in faith engagement, wellness, research and creative scholarship, teaching, and service.
During closing remarks, President John Wesley Taylor V said, “Andrews University is a place of light because of so many shining lights all across our campus and beyond. … Here at Andrews the lights that shine are lights of commitment, lights of excellence, but most of all they are lights because they reflect His light. And so thank you—thank you for letting Jesus shine through each of you. We are grateful.”
Artur Stele, chair of the Andrews University Board of Trustees, thanked Andrews employees for their dedicated service and ended the program with a prayer of blessing.
