This opportunity is open to all expectant parents, providing a chance to see your baby using the latest ultrasound technology. LMC diagnostic medical sonography students, under the supervision of qualified professionals, will use prenatal ultrasound machines to capture multiple pictures of your baby from different angles, and the computer will put them together to make a 3D scan. To be eligible, the parent must be at least 21 weeks pregnant at the time of the appointment and have already had the first fetal anatomy scan with your OBGYN. These ultrasounds are for educational purposes only and do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Printed photos are available upon request. Appointments are available on Tuesdays in October and November.

The keynote speaker is bestselling author Dale Henry, PhD. Henry grew up in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, an area that is bountiful in two things—hospitality and storytelling. Henry has been a teacher, principal, dean of the oldest college in Tennessee, businessman, an author, and a speaker and trainer. His storytelling ability propelled him as a teacher. This, combined with his customer service and unique ability to captivate audiences, has sky-rocketed Henry in his speaking career. Since he began speaking just a few short years ago, corporate, government and educational agencies call on Henry regularly to have him train their professionals. His client list is a virtual Who's Who of top businesses and agencies in the nation. Henry is a master teacher in every aspect of the term, and he is what motivational speakers aspire to become. In keeping with Dale Henry's book title, "The Proverbial Cracker Jack: How to Get Out of the Box and Become The Prize," Henry is definitely the prize!

Thu, 14 Jun 2018 17:50:33 +0000 2018 Annual Faculty & Staff Awards http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/49026 A multisensory experience of Michigan Wonders greeted those who attended the annual Faculty & Staff Awards Celebration held March 4, 2018, in the Howard Performing Arts Center. As guests entered the building, they were greeted by an antique automobile, paying tribute to the world-renowned auto industry headquartered in Detroit. A buffet of made-in-Michigan food was served in a Michigan woodland, complete with woodland animals among the trees and flying overhead. Four local photographers also displayed a mini gallery of photographs of Michigan Wonders. The program began with a warm welcome and blessing by President Andrea Luxton. The host for the event was Duane Covrig, chair of the Department of Leadership in the School of Education. Duane portrayed Michigan-born former president Gerald Ford, a Michigan woodsman, and Edson White, son of Ellen & James White, at intervals during the evening. He also shared details about the historical, cultural and natural wonders of Michigan against a stage backdrop portraying the four seasons. Throughout the evening, the audience enjoyed various prizes of made-in-Michigan items and participated in electronic polls that tested their knowledge of the state. At the conclusion of the night, Artur Stele, board chair and General Conference vice president, expressed his appreciation for the people of Andrews and the beauties of Michigan, closing the evening with a prayer of blessing. The real Michigan Wonders are the faculty and staff who were honored for their years of service to ��˾��ý as well as for excellence in service, teaching, faith development, research and creative scholarship.
