Jordan Smart, Jordan Smart

Spring 2018

Recently I sat down at a table by a storyteller. It wasn’t at Andrews; in fact, I was in North Carolina. But the storyteller has deep Andrews connections. A recent graduate, Jordan Smart, is now on the road as an Andrews recruiter. We had never talked at any length before, and soon it became clear that we had something important in common: a love of stories and a belief in the power of storytelling. So, of course, I need to tell you his story. Jordan was born in Rochester, New York, the child of Jamaican parents. His parents had a …

Heaven Shin, Heaven Shin

Spring 2017

Heaven came to Andrews from her home country of South Korea and began studying for a biology degree. Acting on conviction she changed her major to education, only to discover the additional schooling this would require was something her family could not afford. So back to biology she went, abandoning her dream of becoming a teacher—for now.

As her decision wavered back and forth between education and biology, she made plans to return to South Korea to teach English for a year and earn money to hopefully return to Andrews and complete a degree.

That’s when a miracle happened.

Jessina Wangui Marenga, Jessina Wangui Marenga

Spring 2017

A few months ago I met Jessina for the first time. Jessina is brimming with enthusiasm and faith and I want to share the way she lives constantly in the knowledge of the goodness of God.

She calls herself a proud African—African because her mother is from Kenya and her father from Zimbabwe. She has lived in Botswana, South Africa and Kenya. Jessina also calls herself a desert baby, because she was born in a semi-arid region in the hottest year ever recorded. She still loves the heat.

The place Jessina first knew as home was Botswana which is where …

Live Wholly Journazine, Andrews University

Publications

Think about these questions for yourself: Are you practically taking action towards making positive changes for your personal health and wellness? What are you doing? Are you ready to be transformed? Are you living life to the fullest potential in every aspect? If no, why not? If you think ‘yes’, I challenge you to look harder, because I believe we all have something we can always work on making better (and remember, wellness is wholisitic....mind, body & spirit)!

Spring 2017

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Sarah Brockett lives by this promise. However, she did not always have that perspective.

Born in Toronto, Canada, to who she calls “two feisty Seventh-day Adventist Caribbean parents,” she has experienced many ups, downs and several detours. True to the dictum that life is lived looking forward but understood looking backward, she thanks God for blocking all of her selfish goals and giving her what she truly needed. In …

Spring 2017

Sitting in my office I have a box. In it are the written prayers from student leaders that were part of the 100 days of prayer for me and the provost after we assumed our new roles this fall. The box is a replica of J.N. Andrews’ trunk that he used when he first left for mission service. The proportions are exactly 50 percent.

What is particularly unique is that the materials are almost all taken from Lamson Hall bedframes. The individual who made the box so carefully is one of our valued staff, Harold Schmidt. This story is his …

Zack Babb, Zack Babb

Fall 2016

A few years ago, I interviewed a freshman student for a position that I wasn’t able to offer him. But I walked away from the process believing that somehow I had to find a way to work with him. Even though he was new he was exceptionally gifted, super passionate and peculiar.

Peculiar isn’t a word that we often think of in positive or endearing ways. We think it's odd, or unattractive, or something to be set aside and discarded. Not so with me. Peculiar means ‘look closer there is likely something very special and distinctively alluring just underneath the …

A Phenomenological Study Of Women Leaders In Adventist Higher Education Institutions, Nadine Anna Joseph

Human Subject Research Archive

Using purposive sampling techniques, this phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of 6 women who served as presidents of Adventist Higher Education Institutions, to uncover how they were able to become one of the few women presidents. Data was collected through interviews, observations/shadowing, field notes/researcher’s journal, the Leadership Practice Inventory–Self by Kouzes and Posner (1995), demographic survey sheet, and curriculum vitae. The findings revealed that the participants had positive experiences with parents, teachers, role models, and male mentors who influenced their leadership development. Interestingly, they did not struggle to earn the positions as presidents but rather felt led by God …

Strategic Planning In Higher Education, Andrea Luxton

All Books

Texts on strategic planning are numerous, particularly in relation to the business sector, and higher education has often largely employed a business model in its own approaches to developing strategy. However, in more recent years writers have focused on the specific needs of the higher education environment in planning. This booklet seeks to capture the essence of the debates on strategy in planning, in order to provide a framework for higher education planning that will meet the best standards of practice internationally.

Quality Management In Higher Education, Andrea Luxton

All Books

Higher education institutions have traditionally vied for renown for quality education, with external measurements such as achievement levels of graduating students and later graduate success as two evidences of that quality. In some countries external monitoring of final examinations has provided a measuring rod of institutional success; in others, other performance indicators have been used. In more recent years, however, significant focus has shifted internationally not just to evidence of institutional outcomes, but the internal processes by which quality is assured. Coupled with this has been an increased emphasis on the more formative elements of achieving quality, not just in …

Doing Science Learning Life: Activities With Spiritual Lessons, Clifton Keller

All Books

Science Fun for You and Your Children

The author claims that many students are afraid of college level math and science courses and give up on lifelong dreams. However by getting involved with activities related to science, rather than memorizing facts, some decide to “bite the bullet” and take advanced studies. As a teacher, he learned the processes learned along the way are more important than the facts. For that reason, the book is centered on a dozen process skills such as Observing, Measuring, Classifying, Communicating, etc. Piaget assumed: “Children build on THEIR own knowledge based on THEIR own experiences.” …
