Andrews Launches Health & Wellness InitiativeUniversity works toward a healthier campus and community
Campus News (/agenda/feed/Agenda: Campus News/) | Posted on October 5, 2015

By: Becky St. Clair
Andrews University officially launched its new University Health & Wellness initiative on Wednesday,
September 23, built on the principle and Andrews core strength of Live Wholly. This new initiative is
ongoing and includes the development and construction of a Health & Wellness Center, currently still
✏
in planning stages.
“I am thrilled about the incredible opportunity we have to utilize the foundational principles of health
and wellness to improve, transform and save lives,” says Dominique Wakefield, newly appointed
director of University Health & Wellness. “My role is to provide expert executive health and wellness
advice and to strategically coordinate all things health and wellness for students, faculty, staff and the
community.”
Wakefield will accomplish this task with the support and guidance of the newly established Health &
Wellness Council, and the new Wellness Action Team will carry out the practical components of health,
wellness and fitness within the campus and community.
“Wellness is an active process of optimizing every aspect of our multidimensional self to harmoniously
reflect the image of our Creator by nurturing and equally emphasizing physical, mental and spiritual
development,” says Wakefield. “This means that wellness is a complete lifestyle, challenging us to
make positive choices in all areas of our lives each day, both personally and professionally.”
University Health & Wellness will integrate five deeply connected pillars: physical, spiritual, mental,
relational and professional wellness.
“Together these pillars promote living life to our fullest potential as our Creator God intended for us,”
says Wakefield. “This process is about joy, happiness and balance, all of which contribute to leading
successful and satisfactory lives.”
With strong support from administration, Wakefield encourages every member of the Andrews
community (both on- and off-campus) to join and support this movement. Some initial ways to get
involved include:
Andrews University Plank Challenge:Plank each day at 3 p.m. for 30 seconds (or whatever you
can do), starting Monday, October 5. For details on planking, visit andrews.edu/wellness
(http://www.andrews.edu/wellness).
Wednesday 5K Walk:Every Wednesday at 5 p.m. Meet at the J.N. Andrews sculpture in front of
PMC, starting Wednesday, October 14.
Wellness website with wellness calendar:andrews.edu/wellness. To be completed October 2015.
Wellness Lounge: A space to enjoy a variety of special wellness offerings. Coming November
2015.
“Together we can transform this community and become the healthiest university,” Wakefield says,
“inspiring the world to live life to the fullest through the foundational principles of health and
wellness.”
Back to top
Wakefield comes to Andrews from La Sierra University (Riverside, California), where she served as
assistant professor of health and exercise science. She previously worked at Andrews as director of
Fitness & Exercise Studies and assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition & Wellness from
2008–2012. Wakefield also holds a BA in physical education with a health emphasis and an MA in
teaching international languages with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction from California State
University.
“Having worked in the corporate, clinical and academic settings thus far, I have had many different
types of rewarding experiences,” says Wakefield. “All of these have had their own challenges, but I
believe if it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you, and change is what we need, especially as it
pertains to health, wellness and fitness.”
In addition to working as a personal trainer, wellness coach, group fitness instructor and fitness and
programs director, Wakefield has taught at Southern Adventist University (Collegedale, Tennessee),
University of Tennessee-Chattanooga and California State University-Chico in the areas of health,
fitness and exercise science.
“Dominique Wakefield is an exciting choice for this position,” says Andrea Luxton, provost. “She brings
energy and passion for health and wellness, along with excellent credentials. I have no doubt that she
will energize the campus community to make wellness part of the fabric of the University.”
Wakefield considers her work at Andrews not only academic and administrative, but spiritual as well.
“I believe that God has made us humans ‘very good’ and he wants us to live extraordinary lives,” she
says, “which is possible through optimal levels of the different dimensions of wellness. When you see
the power of wellness transform lives and even save lives, it truly is an inspiration.”

NIMBA Hosts Bike Ride on Andrews TrailsAdvanced mountain biking group enjoys new challenges
Campus News (/agenda/feed/Agenda: Campus News/) | Posted on October 5, 2015

By: Sam Fry✏
The Northern Indiana Mountain Bike Association (NIMBA), a local chapter of the International
Mountain Bikers Association, has begun utilizing Andrews University’s trails for group rides, starting
with a recent early fall ride which drew over 25 riders.
NIMBA is involved in developing and maintaining five trails in the Michiana region, and boasts over 200
members from Berrien and St. Joseph counties. Several members regularly use Andrews University’s
trails and have been encouraging the group to check them out.
On September 21 NIMBA held a guided ride on the trails, attended by local riders as well as NIMBA
members. The ride lasted a couple of hours.
“Our riders are always interested in riding in new places,” says John Marquardt, president of NIMBA.
“We have encouraged people to use the Andrews trails in the past, but have never organized an official
ride there. While signage was an issue at one point, it’s improved quite a bit and it was exciting to give
them a try for the first time.”
Andrews University maintains nearly 11 miles of trails on the northwest side of campus, and has
undertaken steps to make the trails on campus accessible to the community including providing
increased signage. There are two main access points: the Pathfinder Building lot on the north side of
campus, and the parking lot along Campbell Drive, the road leading to Timber Ridge Manor just west of
campus off of M139.
“The Andrews trails are a fairly unknown gem right here in our own campus backyard,” says Emily
Carlson, assistant director of Student Activities & Involvement. “A group of dedicated volunteers keep
them in great condition, and they are a beautiful oasis of peace and natural beauty mere steps from
campus. Casual hikers and more hardcore mountain bikers alike can enjoy them, and I encourage
students to grab a group of friends and explore. They make for a great Sabbath afternoon hike, or as
part of a morning exercise routine.”
The Andrews trails provide unique features not present elsewhere in the Michiana region.
“These trails offer challenges we don’t have on the trails that NIMBA maintains,” says Marquardt.
“People will drive up to Grand Rapids from Indiana to get those kind of rides, and here they are, 15
miles north of the Indiana border. You guys have quite an asset out there.”
Many of the riders who attended NIMBA’s guided ride were impressed with the technical challenges
Andrews Trails has to offer.
“The climbs and descents are impressive,” says Marquardt. “It’s everything intermediate and advanced
riders like to see. Next spring we’ll organize another trip out there. I think there will be more people
riding out there on their own now that they’ve done it as a group. We are always looking to expand
knowledge of trails in the area and are happy to add Andrews’ trails to our list of recommended rides.”

riders.

Andrews Celebrates Hispanic Heritage MonthNew York ensemble performs "Los Valientes" on Tuesday
Campus News (/agenda/feed/Agenda: Campus News/) | Posted on October 2, 2015
By: Becky St. Clair
Andrews University invites the community to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a performance of
“Los Valientes” (The Courageous Ones) in the Howard Performing Arts Center. The performance will
take place on Tuesday, October 6, at 11:30 a.m.
This production is presented by Core Ensemble from New York, featuring are Kevin Melendez acting
and Hugh Hinton at the piano.
“Los Valientes” is a live music theatre work for singing actor and piano. Based on the lives of three
heroic Latinos, the show celebrates Mexican painter Diego Rivera, martyred Salvadoran Archbishop
Oscar Romero and Mexican-American outlaw Joaquin Murrieta (some say the Zorro character was
based on this historical figure). Music in the performance ranges from traditional Latino folk and
popular songs sung in Spanish to instrumental works by Latin American composers.

New Director of Campus Safety AppointedBen Panigot leads with 8 years of experience at Andrews
Campus News (/agenda/feed/Agenda: Campus News/) | Posted on October 2, 2015
By: Becky St. Clair
Andrews University administration announces the appointment of Benjamin Panigot as director of
Campus Safety. The position was left open by Dale Hodges, who managed the Office of Campus Safety
as director for seven and a half years until early September when he accepted a position in Louisiana
to be nearer to family.
✏
Panigot has served as assistant director and captain of Campus Safety for the past two and a half
years and prior to that served in several different capacities in the same office since 2007.
“We are pleased to have someone who not only knows so much about safety and security but who is
also so familiar with the Andrews campus,” says Larry Schalk, vice president for Financial
Administration at Andrews University. “We believe Ben will be an excellent director of Campus Safety
and welcome him to his new role.”
As a safety officer Panigot has maintained his skills and knowledge base through multiple channels,
including: FEMA Emergency Management Institute; Department of Education Readiness & Emergency
Management for Schools; Michigan State Police; Secret Service; National Weather Service and more.
He has trained in areas as varied as Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), fire fighting, storm
spotting, interviewing and interrogation, Clery Act compliance and more.
Panigot has also served on several University committees over the years, as well as been a part of the
Michigan Fire Inspectors Society, the National Fire Protection Association and Professional Adventists
for Safety & Security.
“The Campus Safety team works hard to take care of the students, faculty, staff and community
members who enjoy being a part of our campus community,” says Panigot. “I’m excited for the chance
to lead this team and consider myself blessed to have had such great mentors to show me how to
lead.”

Social Work Ranks 11 out of 150 Programs in U.S.Program receives top marks from Social Work Degree Guide
Campus News (/agenda/feed/Agenda: Campus News/) | Posted on October 1, 2015

By: Danni Francis
The Andrews University Social Work Program ranks 11 out of 150 programs in Christian colleges across
the United States, according to Social Work Degree Guide (SWDG). Their recent report on the Best
Value Christian Colleges with Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) accreditation considers five
✏
criteria: tuition, pay scale return on investment, student-to-faculty ratio, CSWE accreditation and
accreditation date. The various categories are weighted differently.
Andrews boasts a 100 percent employment rate for both undergraduate and graduate students
following graduation. Additionally, the social work program at Andrews maintains a 100 percent pass
rate in students on both levels for the state licensure exam, with an impressive 86 percent passing on
their first try.
Furthermore, the Department of Social Work offers its students relevant coursework which covers a
broad spectrum of pertinent issues including classes on Diversity and Differences, Social Welfare
Services and Policy, Human Rights, Social Economics Justice and Human Behavior, among others.
The social work program at Andrews received accreditation in 1990. This, combined with a student-to-
faculty ratio of 9:1, earned the University 142.5 points out of a possible 200 in the scoring system
utilized by the SWDG.
“We are in some verygood company with other top Christian social work programs,” says Curt
Vanderwaal, chair of the Department of Social Work. “Huge thanks for everything everyone has done to
make our program one of the very best in the nation.”

Students Score 100th & 99th Percentiles on MCATHonors students well-prepared for testing
Campus News (/agenda/feed/Agenda: Campus News/) | Posted on October 1, 2015
By: Danni Francis✏
This summer, Ashley Reichert, Sumiko Weir and Zach Reichert, three senior Biology major students at
Andrews University, scored in the 100 and 99 percentiles on the Medical College Admission Test
(MCAT). The three students are also a part of the J. N. Andrews Honors Program, and both Ashley and
Weir are National Merit Scholars, having scored extraordinarily well on the Preliminary SAT/National
Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
With regards to the Department of Biology Zach says, “Upper division courses went beyond just
reading the textbook; I had a lot of professors that would have me read primary research articles and
look at and interpret data. Learning how to do that and reading articles gives you really vital critical
thinking skills.”
Ashley agrees. “Dr. Zdor structures his tests very similarly to the MCAT,” she says. “He will provide you
with some sort of result, along with real research, and ask you questions about interpreting that
information. It was really helpful.”
“While reviewing for the MCAT, there was never a moment where I felt like I had never seen something
before,” says Weir. “It was always that I needed to remember what I was taught. Also, having to read
difficult primary source material in honors classes really prepared us for the MCAT.”
Zach adds, “There’s a whole section on the MCAT called Critical Reasoning and Analysis and they take
passages that are exactly like what you’re reading in Honors and the analysis section asks similar
questions, maybe even more basic. I felt like I was prepared already.”
“These three students are exceptional,” says Tom Goodwin, chair of the Department of Biology. “They
love to learn, they love to research and they are very inquisitive.”
The Department of Biology boasts a 71% acceptance rate for students applying to medical school, in
comparison to the national average of 41% (2014).
Ashley has applied to nine medical schools and is anticipating interview season, Zach plans to take a
year off and do medical missionary work and Weir plans to start medical school this coming fall.
“Honestly, we’re proud of all its students,” Goodwin says. “We are really fortunate to work with a great
bunch of students who are serious about their studies.”
