International Flags Flying

honoring our international graduates
   Office of the President | Posted on July 27, 2016
International flags are flying this weekend to honor the summer graduates of 2016. There are 47 countries represented in this graduating class. The row of flags closest to the church displays the flags of Great Britain and Canada for our new President, Dr. Andrea Luxton, who is a native of Great Britain and holds a Canadian passport.  Flying next to it is the flag of Grenada for our Provost, Dr. Christon Arthur; and the flag of Switzerland to commemorate J.N. Andrews' historic mission trip. 
In the 2015-2016 school year there were 885 international students representing 92 countries. A beloved symbol of global diversity at Andrews, the International Flag Mall was installed in 1974.  The flags are flown five times a year--spring and summer graduation, Alumni Homecoming Weekend, for the University Dedication Convocation at the beginning of each school year activities and International Student Week.
