Maggie Billingsley, 23, is a senior at Andrews University studying elementary education with a minor in English as a second language. She is the daughter of John and Angela Billingsley and a member of the Battle Creek Tabernacle. Maggie has been in the Adventist school system since beginning kindergarten at Battle Creek Academy (BCA); she will complete her education at Andrews University.

In high school Maggie was the yearbook editor, Student Association president, first concertmaster on the clarinet in the band, class president, class pastor and president of BCA's National Honor Society. In her university years, she serves as an Andrews Ambassador and is also active in the Education Club.

"Ambassadors are the face of Andrews to future students, and Maggie represents Andrews with contagious enthusiasm," says Mona Sarcona, guest relations assistant. "She hopes to be a teacher, and I can't think of a better fit."

Maggie served for a year as a student missionary in Pohnpei where she taught second grade. This past summer she taught for Action America, a short-term intensive English language program. "That opportunity allowed me to experience the world from the comfort of home," says Maggie.

Maggie loves volleyball, cooking (and eating!), the outdoors and doing mission work with children. After college, she hopes to teach English as a second language and do a bit of traveling.

Maxwell A. Murray Jr., 20, is the son of Veronica and Maxwell Murray. He is a member of the Pioneer Memorial Church. Though he currently resides in Niles, Michigan, Maxwell was raised in Berrien Springs where he attended Ruth Murdoch Elementary School and Andrews Academy. He is now studying at Andrews University.

As a student worker in the Office of Integrated Marketing & Communication (IMC), Maxwell is the "go-to" guy whenever help is needed. He is a third-year Andrews Ambassador. Maxwell is beginning his second year with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) and he enjoys volunteering for children's ministries. Maxwell often moonlights as the Andrews Cardinal. With a beyond-his-years sense of responsibility, Maxwell works 40-plus hour work weeks in the summer to help pay for tuition; and during the school year, when he isn't in class or studying, he is working as well.

"Maxwell is one of the many superstars at Andrews. He is talented, engaging, reliable, thoughtful, energetic, kind and a natural leader," says Maxwell's supervisor, Nadine Nelson, director of IMC. "We rely on his contribution to our team, and I am so very proud that he truly represents the legacy of leadership at Andrews."

Marketing is not only Maxwell's passion, it's also his area of study. Now in his third year at Andrews, Maxwell hopes to one day work in marketing for a firm focused on new energy or clean water. For now, he enjoys doing public relations for the Village Green Preservation Society, a student club focused on ecology.
