AU History Exhibit & Lectures at Courthouse Square

Please stop by the 1839 Courthouse Museum in Berrien Springs to see the new exhibit, “Wisdom Seekers: Andrews University from Battle Creek to Boxcars to Berrien Springs.” Andrews University and its forerunners, Battle Creek College and Emmanuel Missionary College, have been a key part of Berrien County’s history for over a century, and the exhibit tells a part of its story. Board member for the BCHA, Rebecca May, who is also the Campus & Community Relations Director for Andrews University, helped plan the exhibit and arranged loans of artifacts from the University's Center for Adventist Research.  

The 2017 Winter Program Series is themed around the Wisdom Seekers exhibit and is comprised of three interactive lectures telling different aspects of the university’s history. You will learn how the university ended up in Berrien Springs, what student life was like then and what it is like now, and the role it plays in our community.  Lecture schedule is as follows:  

Thursday, January 26, 2 pm, Campus History Overview, by Rebecca May

Thursday, February 25, 2 pm, From College to University, by Meredith Jones Gray

Thursday, March 24, 2 pm, Edward Sutherland, by Ronald Knott
