Settled in the Village of Berrien Springs (Population 2043, including students) Andrews University is the flagship educational institution of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and is made up of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education, School of Health Professions, and the School of Architecture, Art & Design.
The University is named after John Nevins Andrews (1829–1883), the biggest thinker in the 19th-century Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was also the first sponsored missionary that the Church sent overseas. J.N. Andrews’ example of careful thought and compassionate action in Christian life is something we have taken to heart. Our motto is “Seek Knowledge. Affirm Faith. Change the World.”

For centuries, Sunday bells have called communities from the ordinary
business of the week toward a common hour of worship. On a college campus,
the summons carries across walks, gardens, residence halls and playing
fields, briefly gathering a scattered community by sound.
Some bells mark the hour; others are rung by hand, continuing a practice older than the
institutions around them. The sound requires no screen, notice or
invitation. It simply travels. On a quiet Sunday morning, chapel bells
remain one of the oldest ways an educational settlement announces that
another week is about to begin.
Philanthropy sometimes begins with conversation rather than campaign. In 2002, Donne Bentley Wright of Chattanooga and her husband, Spencer Wright, heard Sewanee registrar Paul Engsberg describe the English change-ringing tradition he had encountered at Durham.
The Wrights offered to fund a ring for Sewanee. Eight bells were cast at London’s Whitechapel Bell Foundry on July 4, 2003 and installed in historic Breslin Tower the following year. Named for members of the family, including Donne Wright’s parents, Mildred and George Bentley, the bells became more than a memorial. Students learned to ring them, and every Sunday they still summon the community to worship.
The Great Lakes have always carried more than ships. They have carried languages, ideas, students, and friendships from one shore to another.

Like many folk traditions of saying “Rabbit, rabbit” to your colleagues on the first day of the month has an unclear origin and has several variations and interpretations. We use it a reason to explore university research into food sources; the proper business of education communities everywhere. In one version of the tradition, saying “Rabbit, rabbit” or “White rabbit” as the first words upon waking on the first day of the month is believed to bring good luck for the rest of that month. It is thought to ensure good fortune, happiness, and general positivity throughout the coming weeks.
The specific origins and reasons behind this tradition are difficult to trace, as superstitions often evolve and are passed down through generations. It’s worth noting that this practice is not universally known or followed, and its popularity may vary among different regions and communities. Ultimately, the saying “Rabbit, rabbit” on the first day of the month is an example of a charming and whimsical superstition that some individuals enjoy participating in as a fun way to start the month on a positive note.
