I am writing in regard to the recent news about the U.S. State Department freeze on new student visa appointments at U.S. consulates and embassies worldwide. I know these developments raise questions of concern for our international students already on campus and for Andrews University faculty and staff who support and advise international students. However, I realize the news is especially concerning to our newly-accepted international students who have not yet received a student visa. If you are in this category, please know that the International Student Services (ISS) office at Andrews University is monitoring the situation daily, and ISS staff are prepared and ready to support you no matter what happens next. I also wanted to offer these thoughts: <ul> <li> The current freeze is temporary and could change at any time.</li> <li> ISS is ready to change and adapt in response.</li> <li> ISS will continue issuing new I-20s during the freeze, so once the freeze is lifted, I-20s will have already been emailed if all requirements were met.</li> <li> ISS will communicate updates and new options as changes to the student visa process are clarified by the U.S. government in the coming days and weeks.</li> </ul> Though I cannot guarantee answers to every student visa question at the moment, I can guarantee that ISS is closely watching for new U.S. government guidelines and is ready to support you in whatever way possible. Our prayers and best wishes are with you during this time of uncertainty!

Thu, 22 May 2025 14:26:54 +0000 Tetelestai: Images of the Sonrise http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67000 The Southshore Concert Band, conducted by Dale L. Reuss, presents "Tetelestai," a concert for the Risen Christ. This program will use modern concert band music to follow Christ's story from Abraham to the crucifixion and beyond. The Southshore Concert Band is an adult band "in residence" at Lake Michigan College. We are excited to bring this special concert to the Howard Performing Arts Center. The spirit of the concert is a celebratory remembrance of those who have gone before us. The audience will enjoy a variety of musical styles, from classic to popular. A highlight of the program will be the performance of a yet unpublished work by world-class composer Rossano Galante. This wonderful new composition for band was commissioned by the Southshore Concert Band and is titled " Images of the Sonrise ." Guest vocalist Jeff Whittaker will also perform with the band. Admission is free with donations gratefully accepted.  <o:p></o:p> Thu, 22 May 2025 14:23:52 +0000 AA: Grad Brunch for Incoming Ninth Graders http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67277 Incoming ninth graders and parents/guardians, please join us on Sunday, June 1, at 10:30 a.m. to learn more about Andrews Academy, meet the faculty and staff, finish the application/enrollment process (or get started), work on a class schedule, enjoy some food and more!
