Mission Statement

healthcare as a ministry.

“Healthcare is about restoration: That the sick may be made well; that the healthy will be kept in
optimal health; and that the dying may find comfort. At the very core of healthcare is the opportunity
to reveal the character of God by the attitude and actions displayed and performed by the caregiver.”
David E. Greenlaw
Founding President/CEO

President’s Address to Graduates
Graduation-the mere mention of that word to students finishing a course of study sounds like music to
their ears. It is also a time of uncertainty. Will I get the job I want? Will I be good at my job? All these
and a myriad of other questions run through the graduate’s mind.
Maybe there is an additional question that should be asked. Will my life make a positive impact
for good as I undertake my new career? Another way of asking the question might be, how will my
presence in my workplace change the environment? Will I create positive energy or negative energy?
Each of us has an influence on others, and the way we conduct ourselves will impact others either for
good or evil. The author of the book of Proverbs in the third chapter says it this way:
Don’t assume you know it all
Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you;
take to heart my commands.
They’ll help you live a long, long time,
a long life lived full and well.
Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.
Tie them around your neck;
carve their initials on your heart.
Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes
and the eyes of the people.
The Message Bible, NAV Press
If you follow this admonition, you will do well and have a profound impact on your workplace.
David E. Greenlaw
Founding President/CEO

Academic Regalia & Mace
The Adventist University Mace and the wide variety of academic regalia seen in the current academic
procession date back to the formation of the earliest educational institutions of higher education. The mace
was originally a powerful weapon of war, used in battle by medieval knights and heavy enough to break the
enemy’s armor. Later, in virtually the same form, the mace was widely used to protect royalty; and eventually
maces, bejeweled and highly decorated, were used in ceremonial functions as symbols of authority.
The Mace, carried today by the Grand Marshal, is a symbol of the authority of Adventist University of Health
Sciences and is displayed only at official University convocations. Echoing both its early use as a weapon and
its later use symbolizing authority, the University’s Mace represents education’s authority to break through
ignorance and prejudice.
The main staff of the University Mace is of walnut, among the hardest and most attractive of woods, showing
both the rigor and the beauty of the education offered at Adventist University. The four sided bronze platform
at the top of the staff represents the four key concepts of the University’s programs: Nurture, Excellence,
Spirituality, and Stewardship. On this bronze platform is mounted a representation of the University’s seal
with the institution’s full name encircling four flames of fire representing truth triumphing over ignorance
and prejudice while igniting the fires of life-long learning.
It is also instructive to note the symbolic meaning expressed in the various parts of the academic regalia.
European universities still show a wide diversity of official academic apparel. However, approximately a
century ago, American colleges and universities adopted a consistent academic costume code widely used
today in the United States.
The various types of academic gowns represent the different degrees that have been conferred. The gowns for
the Associate and Bachelor degrees have pointed sleeves. The gown for the Master’s degree has oblong sleeves
which open at the wrist. The gown for Doctoral degrees has bell-shaped sleeves which close at the wrist.
On the back of the gowns are hoods that are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university
conferring the degree. Since members of the faculty hold degrees from numerous universities and colleges,
space does not permit an identification of each hood in the academic procession. The colors of the velvet trim
on the hoods of each gown represent the discipline in which the degree was conferred, and those disciplines
can be identified as follows:

The Presidential Medallion
The historic traditions of the commencement ceremony are also reflected in the medallions worn by some
of its participants. Chief among these is the Presidential Medallion worn by the University President as a
symbol of that high office. The medallion features a replica of the University seal, the name of the University
encircling four flames of fire representing truth triumphing over ignorance and prejudice while igniting the
fires of life-long learning.
The medallion is suspended from a collar featuring the core values of the University (Nurture, Excellence,
Spirituality, and Stewardship) interspersed with discs featuring the lamp of learning. The Presidential
Medallion has a plate immediately above it engraved with the words, Founding President. Medallions and
collars are worn over the academic gown and only at official convocations such as this commencement.
