StudentLife MichiganUniversity FaithAndLearning WelcomeBack

08/27/2026

A new semester always comes with plans, goals, and expectations. But it also comes with challenges we can’t always see coming.

That’s why we begin together.

At the University Convocation, students, faculty, and staff gathered to dedicate this new semester to God. President John Wesley Taylor V reminded us that standing firm doesn’t mean we won’t face difficult moments; it means knowing where our strength comes from when they arrive.

We trust God. We keep learning. We keep moving forward.

Because at Andrews, we’re not only preparing students to become what they want to be. We’re preparing them to stand firm in faith, wherever life takes them. 💙

To Our Kids Starting at Andrews 💙

Watching you pack your bags, load up the car, and drive off to campus… it’s one of the hardest and proudest moments a parent can go through.

We just want you to know: every night, we’ll be praying for you. When you’re studying late, when you’re making new friends, when you’re figuring out who you’re becoming, we’re with you, even from far away.

We are so happy you’re at Andrews. Not just because it’s a good school, but because we know this is a place that will grow your faith as much as your mind. That matters more to us than anything.

So go. Learn. Seek knowledge. Hold on to your faith. You are going to change the world, and we already can’t wait to see it.

We love you. We’re praying for you. We’re so proud of you.

Seek Knowledge. Affirm Faith. Change the World. ✨

Growth looks different for everyone.

Since coming to Andrews, this student has found more opportunities, met more people, and discovered how connection can change who you are. From building the confidence to strike up conversations, to stepping into initiative and maturity, the journey here has stretched them in ways they didn’t expect.

A missionary year of service in Palau became a turning point, not just academically, but in shaping a clear sense of purpose. What started as homesickness and uncertainty has grown into confidence, both in the classroom and in life.

“When I first got here, I didn’t know how to say the basic things. And now, look at me.”

That’s what an Andrews education can do.
