The 58th General Conference (GC) Session, to be held June 30July 9 in St. Louis, Mo., will be the third at which Andrews University students have had the opportunity to serve as administrative pages.
"Andrews is pleased to be able to provide students to serve as administrative pages," says Rebecca May, University Relations director. "Because Andrews' students best reflect the demographics of the world church, we are in a unique position to provide this assistance to the GC Session."
Out of 75 applications submitted this past winter to University Relations, 25 were selected to reflect the rich diversity of talent, language skills, and varied areas of study represented on our campus. The pages will serve in various GC offices, such as Secretariat, Session Management, Business Center, and Communication. Andrews will award students a stipend, applicable to next years tuition, for their service as administrative pages.
Lianro WagenerSmith, a graduate school psychology student from South Africa, is looking forward to spending a busy two weeks in St. Louis. "From what Ive heard from friends of mine who served in Toronto five years ago, I am expecting to be kept very busy. But, I am especially looking forward to meeting people from places Ive never been who are Seventh-day Adventists just like me, and to becoming more familiar with the business side of the church."
