They will be joined by local guest artists for the program.</p> <p> Musician and producer Mykolai Sierga; vocalist Yurii Ivaskevych; composer and pianist Mykhailo Oliinyk; bandura player Taras Stoliar; and violinist and conductor Olha Rukavishnikova make up the team of Ukrainian performers. They are presenting Ukrainian culture to various universities and religious communities across the country. As cultural ambassadors, they aim to cultivate awareness and support for Ukraine’s quest for peace.</p> <p> The musical program will include an assortment of Ukrainian folk songs and selections in addition to a few covers of songs that are popular in the United States. Carla Trynchuk, professor of music at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, will be one of the local performers included in the program. In addition, Charles Reid, associate professor of music at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, and Andrew Fisher, the lead vocalist of “The Andrew Fisher Quartet,” will perform with one of the Ukrainian musicians in a three-tenor song.</p> <p> Admission will be free for all guests, and there will be a free-will collection at the concert, which will help contribute to the relief of Ukrainian soldiers. Trynchuk states, “Because [the Russo-Ukrainian War] has been going on for so long, people tend to forget [about it].” She and all those involved with the program hope to bring continued awareness of Ukraine’s needs to the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 community through this event. </p> Thu, 13 Jun 2024 14:06:18 +0000 Student Participates in Pacific Press Internship http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65306 <p> During the summer of 2023, 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 student Abigail Cancel had the opportunity to work with the Pacific Press Publishing Association through an internship organized with the Department of Visual Art, Communication & Design. She designed a series of children’s books as well as a booth for the 2023 North American Division Educators’ Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. Department Chair Daniel Weber hopes to continue this partnership with Pacific Press and develop additional internship opportunities for VACD students.</p> <p> “I didn’t have any graphic design experience before starting my freshman year at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, so essentially my entire graphic design journey has been here. It’s been a challenge, but a good one,” Cancel shares. As part of her graphic design major, she took a course on editorial design where she had the opportunity to work on Envision magazine, an award-winning student-produced magazine created at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 by the VACD.</p> <p> This experience sparked her interest in book design and publishing, and Weber, who served as editor of Envision, reached out to Pacific Press on her behalf for an internship. During a Zoom interview that followed, Cancel shared her portfolio with the vice president of marketing at Pacific Press. She learned about the types of projects the team expected and was offered a position. “It was very straightforward,” she explains, “My responsibilities during my internship were pretty clearly set out from the first interview.”</p> <p> The internship took place at the Pacific Press headquarters in Nampa, Idaho, for about five weeks between June and July. A typical day began with group worship followed by team members working on their own projects or attending meetings. The main project Cancel worked on was designing a series of ten children’s board books using existing artwork from a previous series done by Pacific Press.</p> <p> “This was my first time designing a children’s book and the first time Pacific Press was publishing for that young of an age range, so we took some notes on things like font and color choices, illustration types and placements, page sizes and shapes, all of that,” she says. The team also took a trip to a local bookstore to check out the design choices and styles of books written for the same age group as their series.</p> <p> In addition to working with her team, Cancel worked independently on the designs, editing the illustrations she was given to fit the series. She began by creating two designs in different styles for the first book in the series and, after receiving approval and feedback from her team members, continued with the nine remaining books. “It felt like I was just a regular, if junior, member of the team starting out in the field for the first time, rather than a temporary intern,” she shares, noting that she was given her own office to work in and was allowed to take the lead on projects that were primarily hers.</p> <p> Another major project that Cancel worked on was designing Pacific Press’ booth for the 2023 NAD Educators’ Convention. “The theme for the Pacific Press booth was ‘God’s Garden,’ so naturally we chose photos of plants for the signage we created,” she says. This project allowed her to work closely with the Pacific Press in-house graphic designer and also developed her experience with printing and mounting, as the posters for the booth were much larger than anything Cancel had created before. “I had a bit of fun hiding a couple of little easter eggs for myself in the different pictures chosen for the different categories,” she adds.</p> <p> In addition to the convention booth and children’s board books, Cancel also worked on a stand-alone children’s chapter book, creating the cover illustration as well as interior details. “This internship, as well as my on-campus job at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 Press, definitely solidified for me that book design and typography is the direction that I am most interested in,” says Cancel. She expresses a love for the different aspects of storytelling and the impact of different types of book designs on readers. For similar reasons, she is also interested in video game design and has been learning about comic layouts and lettering.</p> <p> Cancel would recommend an internship with Pacific Press to students who have some experience in the field of graphic design. She praises the respectful atmosphere and independent nature of the workplace, crediting it for helping develop confidence in her own abilities.</p> <p> “Pacific Press has expressed a strong interest in having more students from the Visual Art, Communication & Design program do internships with them,” says Weber, “They were impressed with Abigail’s knowledge and graphic design skills and want to have more 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 students help them through interning.”</p> <p> The University’s graphic design and photography students have participated in a variety of internships, including at corporate offices like Whirlpool and local businesses such as JohnsonRauhoff, a St. Joseph-based advertising agency. Students have also completed internships in healthcare settings such as AdventHealth. Weber explains, “We require each Bachelor of Fine Art student specializing in graphic design or photography to do at least one internship as part of their academic curriculum and encourage them to do more if possible.”</p> <p> During these internships, students are able to gain experience in corporate communication, graphic design, photography and public relations. They also provide opportunities to build connections, expand students’ networks in their field of study and can help them obtain jobs after graduation. Students can find resources for possible internships through the VACD department faculty.</p> <p> To learn more about related programs at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, visit the VACD <a href="http:// /cas/vacd/">website</a>.</p> Mon, 10 Jun 2024 09:43:53 +0000 Willie Hucks Named New Assistant to the President http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65301 <p> Willie Hucks has accepted the invitation to serve as assistant to the president for Mission & Culture at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录. In that capacity, he will also carry forward the role of diversity officer.</p> <p> Hucks earned a BA from Oakwood College in 1985 and an MDiv from 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 in 1992. He went on to complete a DMin from 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 in 2006.</p> <p> For almost 15 years, Hucks served as a pastor in the Southwest Region Conference. Then, from 1999–2006, he was faculty at Southwestern Adventist University, where he specialized in applied theology and taught several general education religion courses. He also coordinated the student pastor program with local conferences and the preparation and interview process for ministerial students to meet with potential employers. He says, “I enjoyed shaping young minds and preparing young people for pastoral ministry.”</p> <p> Hucks next moved into the role of associate editor of Ministry Magazine, and from 2010–2016, he was associate ministerial secretary for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.</p> <p> In 2016, Hucks was invited to return to the classroom as associate professor and, later, chair of the Department of Practical & Applied Theology in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录. “The faculty and staff of 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 are among the most dedicated and committed people I have ever met, and my interactions with them have made me a better person,” he says. “I especially can say that about my colleagues in the Practical and Applied Theology Department (PATH). <em>Colleagues</em> isn’t the right word to use. We are <em>family</em>.”</p> <p> A prolific author and engaging presenter, Hucks writes and speaks on a wide array of topics, including homiletics, the intersection of church and community, ethnicity, justice, and ministry to “the least of these.” He has also chaired the Seminary Ethnicity, Race, and Social Justice Committee for eight years.</p> <p> Hucks’ interest in the position of assistant to the president for Mission & Culture at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 began after hearing President John Wesley Taylor V’s passion for these themes. Hucks concluded that his gifts and life experiences could contribute to 新加坡六合彩开奖记录’s culture and biblical mission.</p> <p> Hucks says, “This role calls on me to foster a climate in which the University’s core values—wellbeing, integrity, innovation, trust, humility, justice, compassion—permeate everything we do. Intentionally integrating these values gives us the credibility and efficacy to be world changers. The final two core values are most clearly seen when it comes to matters of diversity. Justice and compassion are integral to possessing a sense of belonging. And the concept of belonging stands front and center in 新加坡六合彩开奖记录’s strategic plan. I don’t want 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 to create spaces <em>for</em> belonging. I want 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 to always be known as a space <em>of</em> belonging.”</p> <p> Hucks hopes that, in his new work, the familial interaction he has had in the Seminary can be expanded campus-wide. He also wants to foster a broad sense of spiritual rest. Comparing the priorities of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, Hucks notes the significant work of the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 learning community while also emphasizing that “diligence to the tasks must not result in our spiritual, mental, social, psychological and physical harm. We must experience spiritual Shabbat.”</p> <p> President Taylor says, “I am delighted that Dr. Willie Hucks has accepted this key role at our University. Over the years, I have observed and admired his commitment to the biblical worldview and his passion for extending the ministry of Jesus. It will be a special privilege to work closely together to deepen the connectedness of the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 family and to vividly embody our core values as we move <em>Forward in Mission</em>.”</p> Thu, 06 Jun 2024 17:05:57 +0000 New Collaboration Fast-tracks MDiv Degree http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65295 <p> The Bachelor of Arts in Theology program and the Master of Divinity (MDiv) program at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 are collaborating to provide an easier pathway for students to complete both the undergraduate and graduate programs. In the 2024–2025 school year, undergraduate theology students will have the opportunity to partake in 15 shared credits of upper-division classes that will count toward both their undergraduate degree and a subsequent MDiv degree. Through increased overlap and simplicity, both degree programs hope to increase efficiency for students.</p> <p> Fernando Ortiz, the MDiv program director, expressed his excitement about and approval of the partnership between the undergraduate Department of Religion & Biblical Languages and the graduate program in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. “This collaboration is an unprecedented opportunity for undergraduate students at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 to have a seamless transition to the Seminary and save time. We are thrilled to enhance the opportunities for both programs.”</p> <p> Because many undergraduate theology students go on to pursue an MDiv or other graduate-level programs at the Seminary after graduation, it made sense to Ortiz and Rodney Palmer, chair of the Department of Religion & Biblical Languages, to provide a simpler path for students to pursue their academic and career goals.</p> <p> The partnership also allows students from the Department of Religion & Biblical Languages the opportunity to go into the pastoral field after graduation and gain valuable ministerial experience. Then, they may return to 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 and begin a graduate degree in the Seminary with a head start because of the upper-level classes they have already taken.</p> <p> The collaboration is expected to benefit not only students but also the distinct programs and their faculties. Palmer stated that he believes the collaboration will allow for “a greater working relationship between the Seminary and the undergrad program,” since the two programs are currently separated under different schools within the greater 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 umbrella. Ortiz is hopeful that the added benefits and easier connection between the two programs will entice more students to attend both the MDiv program and undergraduate theology program.</p> <p> This new collaboration is one of several initiatives being developed to increase the number of theology students attending the University. For example, the Lake Union Conference <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/lake-union-pledges-one-million-dollars-to-attract-new-teachers-and-pastors">recently announced</a> a new scholarship program for religion and education majors who are members of the Lake Union.</p> <p> Although the collaboration is designated to begin in the upcoming 2024–2025 school year, Palmer expects that some current sophomore and junior students will take advantage of this opportunity and apply to earn Seminary credits early. After a review of their degree progress and timeline, these students will be able to take advantage of the positive changes being made to theological studies at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录.</p> Thu, 06 Jun 2024 14:19:17 +0000 Professor Awarded Lifetime Achievement Award http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65271 <p> Harvey J. Burnett Jr., PhD, chair of 新加坡六合彩开奖记录's School of Social & Behavioral Sciences, police chief for the city of Buchanan and president of the Buchanan Area School Board, received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Buchanan Chamber of Commerce. The award, presented during the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Ceremony Dinner at Fernwood Botanical Gardens & Nature Preserve, recognizes individuals who have made significant and sustained contributions to the community.</p> <p> The award came as a surprise to Burnett, who humbly expressed, "I was nominated along with several other well-deserving candidates from the Buchanan area that have put a lifetime of investment into making the community of Buchanan better." The nomination process, overseen by the Buchanan Chamber of Commerce, highlighted Burnett's remarkable academic journey and his profound impact on the community.</p> <p> A Detroit native, Burnett's commitment to education and community service has been evident throughout his career. He first earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and later completed both a Master of Divinity and a doctorate in counseling psychology at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录. Burnett's academic accomplishments are complemented by his extensive experience in law enforcement, spanning more than 25 years, including his current role as the police chief of the Buchanan City Police Department.</p> <p> Beyond his professional roles, Burnett's contributions to the community are multifaceted. As the president of the Buchanan Community Schools Board of Education, where he has also been a member for over 26 years, he prioritizes the needs of students and families while navigating governance with integrity. Patricia Robinson, superintendent of Buchanan Area Schools, expressed gratitude for Burnett's service, stating, "Our school district and community feel privileged to have Dr. Burnett here in the community serving in so many ways. He is well deserving of this award."</p> <p> Michigan's 37th District State Representative Brad Paquette presented Burnett with a special tribute and expressed thankfulness for Burnett's service. “Harvey Burnett brings out goodness in those around him. This exemplary trait stands out, even among his own extensive list of personal accomplishments,” Paquette said. “Who is it that is so established upon a genuine foundation to recognize the utmost importance of exalting others that are worthy? This is a very special public virtue which is essential in strong communities, and it greatly compliments his lifelong commitment to service. Thank you, doctor, president, chief.”</p> <p> Burnett also serves as an elder in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and is actively involved in various community outreach programs. Reflecting on his achievements, Burnett attributes his success to God's grace and the support of his community. “It's just humbling,” he said, “And I know that some of the other nominees, they deserve it just as much or even more than me.”</p> <p> Burnett's legacy of kindness, compassion and excellence continues to inspire future generations in Buchanan and beyond.</p> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> # # #</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> To learn more about studying at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, please visit <a href="/admissions/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">Enrollment</a>. </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> If you're interested in joining the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 team, please see the list of available <a href="/services/hr/job_seekers/index.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">positions</a>. </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> We invite you to support the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 mission by making a <a href="/services/development/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">donation</a>.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Please read more about great things happening at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 <a href="/agenda/feed/Agenda:+Campus+News/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.</div> Thu, 30 May 2024 14:00:05 +0000 Professor Receives Excellence in Impact Award http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65200 <p> Curtis VanderWaal, chair and professor of social work at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, recently received the United Way of Southwest Michigan's annual Excellence in Impact Award. VanderWaal’s path from graduate to seasoned professor has been defined by his commitment to community impact and relentless dedication to positive change.</p> <p> VanderWaal’s journey began in the field of community mental health after he graduated from the University of Michigan. Later, he pursued his PhD at Case Western Reserve University and then began teaching at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 in 1990.</p> <p> As chair of the School of Social Work, VanderWaal has multiple responsibilities, from managing budgets to nurturing faculty and program growth. He explains that his leadership includes “making sure our faculty have the resources they need and removing all the roadblocks possible.”</p> <p> The recent award from the United Way came as a surprise to VanderWaal, who humbly acknowledges his contributions over the years. “It was very graciously given,” he shares. His involvement with the United Way spans more than a decade, during which he has served on committees and spearheaded program evaluations that measure community impact.</p> <p> For VanderWaal, the essence of the award lies in its reflection of collective effort. “They're saying, ‘Thank you for your contributions to the United Way over the years,’” he said, emphasizing the collaborative spirit driving social change.</p> <p> At the heart of VanderWaal's work is a commitment to real-world impact, evident in his role as director of field education and his innovative teaching methods at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录. His class “Advanced Program Evaluation” offers students unique opportunities to engage with community agencies, conducting evaluations that shape real-world interventions.</p> <p> “Students love being able to actually do a project that matters,” VanderWaal shares, highlighting the transformative impact of experiential learning. Through partnerships with community agencies, students gain practical skills while making tangible contributions to societal well-being.</p> <p> Beyond accolades and awards, VanderWaal's passion lies in amplifying voices that are often left unheard. “The United Way goes into the community and asks normal folks what they need,” he explains, emphasizing the organization's inclusive approach to community engagement.</p> <p> VanderWaal continues to engage his students and fellow faculty members in positive projects that impact the community. Within the School of Social Work, students are constantly pushed to connect and create positive change.

As defined by the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 is now distinguished as one of the 735 colleges and universities in the United States that provide various opportunities for minority students. This MSI status will be in effect from July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025. A new application is submitted each year to secure the MSI status. 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 also qualifies under the US Department of Education as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI).</p> <p> Padma Tadi Uppala, associate dean for research and creative scholarship in the College of Health & Human Services and professor in the School of Population Health, Nutrition & Wellness, helped secure the University’s standing as an MSI. She shares that the MSI distinction not only provides financial help to students but also provides a portion of financial relief for 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 as an organization. For the last several years, 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 has also been eligible to accept Federal Pell Grants, designated for “undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need,” according to the Federal Student Aid’s website. Uppala notes that 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 has either received an MSI designation or Pell Grant eligibility every year since 2019, which has allowed 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 to compete for US Department of Education grants, including one received in 2020 for $2.25 million.</p> <p> In the 2023–24 school year, Student Financial Services (SFS) recorded 282 student recipients of Pell Grants, which offered additional funds for less financially fortunate students. The MSI designation has also offered partial financial alleviation for both the University and individual students. Cynthia Gammon, associate director of SFS, states, “The MSI title designation, received thanks to Padma Uppala and her efforts, allows 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 a waiver of the use of institutional funds.

From April 1–5, 2024, the campus was alive with a variety of engaging events and activities. The theme for the week was “High-Value Relationships,” referencing the biblical model of lasting relationships and highlighting the importance of collaboration and networking throughout the innovative process. The return of Innovation Week also brought back the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 Pitch Competition.</p> <p> The week featured keynote speaker Pierre Quinn, CEO of The Cardell Group. An alumnus of 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 with degrees in communication and theology, Quinn is also the author of “Leading While Green: How Emerging Leaders Can Ripen into Effective Leaders” and “Leading While Scared: How To Find the Courage To Keep Going.” Other activities throughout the week included networking events, a vespers service and an exhibit floor which showcased booths by student start-ups.</p> <p> The final round of the third annual Pitch Competition took place on Friday, April 5, where students presented original business ideas for the opportunity to win in-kind and cash awards. The event showcased a diverse array of innovative ideas and entrepreneurial ventures, each vying for the grand prize equivalent of over $13,000. This year’s competition was sponsored by 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Glen Oaks, 52 Wall St, the School of Leadership at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, 38 Wall St, 新加坡六合彩开奖记录’s Enactus Club and Adventist Young Professionals.</p> <p> Among the standout participants was Sofiia Ialysheva, whose project “Zahra,” a menstrual resource app tailored for Muslim women, captured the judges’ hearts and imaginations. Speaking about her inspiration and journey, Ialysheva, a senior finance major, shares, “This project is very close to my heart because I do believe that there's a big gap in education in the Middle East, especially related to women's health and menstrual health.”</p> <p> With roots in a nonprofit initiative aimed at supporting refugee girls in Lebanon, “Zahra” blossomed into a platform offering education, support and empowerment for women across various Muslim regions. Ialysheva’s project earned the first-place award of $10,000 as well as the $1,000 People’s Choice Award, highlighting the impact that 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 students can have in addressing societal needs. Along with the monetary awards, Ialysheva also received one year of business coaching, co-working access, and business and mail service.</p> <p> Second place was awarded to the project “FreshNest,” presented by its CEO and founder Edd Joseph, junior computer science major. FreshNest is a tech platform aimed at bridging the gap between short-term rental hosts (such as Airbnb and Vrbo) and cleaners. As the second-place winner, FreshNest received $8,000 in cash from the competition sponsors. Joseph states, “These winnings will be instrumental in accelerating our development and marketing efforts. By expediting FreshNest's entry into the market, we can fulfill our mission of ‘Creating Cleaner Possibilities’ for the cleaning industry. With FreshNest, hosts can save valuable time and energy, enabling them to concentrate on delivering exceptional experiences for their guests.”</p> <p> The project “Breaking the Mold Ministry” by Devonte Gilchrist won third place and received $6,000 in cash. “Breaking the Mold Ministry” is an online church ministry focused on providing a safe space for young adults to engage with Christianity and discuss real-life issues. It originated as a service for the youth of Gilchrist’s home church but expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic to reach a broader audience. Gilchrist says, “We plan on using [the winnings] to purchase VR headsets, create a blueprint for building our Metaverse church building, have an in-person retreat and work toward baptisms.”</p> <p> Two Social Innovation Awards, each totaling $5,000 in grants for projects in Berrien County, were given to Joseph’s “FreshNest” project and the fourth-place winner “MicroGreens” by Parker Muhlenbeck, sophomore accounting major. Other winners and competitors included “The Treehouse Initiative” by Michael Owusu, “Prehtis” by Julison de Souza Mendonca and “The Teacher Preacher” by Ilka Ruiz.</p> <p> Matias Soto, director of Innovation & Entrepreneurship at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, sheds light on the significance of events like Innovation Week in fostering a culture of entrepreneurship within the campus community. "Innovation Week provides us with the opportunity to frame innovation and entrepreneurship according to our context," he explains. "It allows us to define how those terms relate to our Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and history, how to apply them to our unique university and how they can be used as tools to be world changers."</p> <p> This year’s Innovation Week activities were sponsored by the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 Graduate Student Association (AUGSA), Center for Faith Engagement, Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Student Involvement, Leadership & Activities (SILA). Through partnerships like these, the event not only celebrates innovation but also fosters collaboration and networking opportunities among participants and attendees.</p> <p> The success of Innovation Week extends beyond the campus, resonating with the broader local community and igniting important conversations. Looking ahead, the event promises to continue making an impact. Soto says, "My conviction is that the students at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 are amongst the most innovative and entrepreneurial in the country." As plans for the next iteration of Innovation Week take shape, the campus anticipates another chapter in the journey toward becoming a hub for innovation, creativity and positive change.</p> <p> For more information on the Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, visit their <a href="/innovation/">website</a>.</p> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> # # #</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> To learn more about studying at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录, please visit <a href="/admissions/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">Enrollment</a>. </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> If you're interested in joining the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 team, please see the list of available <a href="/services/hr/job_seekers/index.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">positions</a>. </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> We invite you to support the 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 mission by making a <a href="/services/development/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">donation</a>.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">  </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Please read more about great things happening at 新加坡六合彩开奖记录 <a href="/agenda/feed/Agenda:+Campus+News/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 74, 128); text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.</div> Wed, 15 May 2024 12:27:08 +0000
