Other crew carefully reallocate resources for the best journey possible. e stand on the seashore, gazing steadfastly at the horizon. Its distant hue and glow shapes our vision of where we are going, and energizes us to action. With a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night, we sail, our direction simple and affirmed. There is little time to spare, and a sense of urgency pervades our journey. Another team of hands, second to none, stand ready to cast off from the harbor, at the sound of the ship's horn, and carefully check for vaccinations and passports—embarkation standards and requirements. What excitement, amidst the salty and brim taste of the harbor air, as anchor is pulled and the ship pushes forward. On the seashore, parents and well-wishers gather for goodbyes, content to trust the lives of their young to the strength and engineering of a newly refurbished vessel. Parents and families have already sampled the ship's fare, heard of its reputation, and are convinced that it is adequately seaworthy to be trusted with their most valuable charges. The ship is designed to provide the best possible experience for each passenger: comfort, context and background in mind. This kind of experience is more valuable than money or price can determine. During their journey, each passenger will have the opportunity to sample fare on all decks, decks stocked with academic, religious and social delicacies. President Lashley works daily to provide vision for our newly refurbished ship. Passengers will observe the rules and regulations necessary to bring a discipline of mind and habit for future journeys, journeys these passengers will eventually captain and direct themselves. Engines, The ship's diet is intended to build muscles and sinews for the future, to enable passengers to become future captains and shipmates, to manage and lead crews of mixed peoples.

This is truly strengthening food for the soul. On another deck, academic fare boasts excellence and thorough preparation, enhanced by interculturalism, language and technological proficiency, community service, continuous learning, and the integration of faith and learning. It is these herbs and seasonings, which characterize the muscles and sinews of the future, for which the ship's reputation is known. It is this food for the mind that brings people to the table of learning. A continuous stream of festivals and special feasts add to the variety of the menu. Some avoid the menu, only to experience illness and malnutrition. Others make use of the fare to build their bodies, minds and spirits and to develop strength, vision and foresight.

Facilitated by the John Henry Weidner Center for the Cultivation of the Altruistic Spirit, the program is now a key requirement for AUC's general studies program. "Community service is a very important component of our mission," says Ileana Douglas, interim Vice President for Academic Affairs. "As Christians, whose lives are based on the Gospel, we have to witness, and the best way we can witness is by doing good acts for others, regardless of who they are or where they live. This will give us the opportunity to train young people not to take things for granted. We have to give something back to the community; it's not only a social responsibility—it's a Christian mandate." Roger Preston, the director of the Community Service Program, says, "This will help us become a positive part of the community. Basically, we are helping students to understand that there is a need to do things for others. This brings a sense of self-respect to students and teaches them about other types of communities than what they are used to. When we respect and understand other people, we begin to respect ourselves as well. This is developing a true Christian attitude." Based on this philosophy, the program requires 40 hours of community service to be completed by graduation, which can be accomplished by a wide range of volunteering activities. Students may choose to participate in a concentrated summer program or spread out their service hours over the four years they are at AUC. Benita Stevens, a sophomore Pre-Occupational Therapy major, has participated by spending one hour each week volunteering to keep the College Church clean and orderly. Although she must transfer to another school next year to finish her degree, she has found her experience at AUC to be personally and spiritually fulfilling. She said, "I've completed 160 hours of observation and volunteering for my major, but my work at the church has become more of a personal thing, rather than something I have to do. I felt I was lacking something in my life. This is one hour where I do something for someone else instead of myself. I am putting my talents to use, helping someone else and also serving God." Darby Harvey, a senior Art major, has taken community service in a different direction. "My time with the Maranath2 trip in Nirgua, Venezuela, was a very positive experience," he said. "The work that we were doing was quite vigorous, and we had a lot of support from the students and faculty of the institute as well as from the members of the community." Projects included restoring the college's cafeteria and repairing campus buildings. Although neither Darby or Benita fall into the group who must do community service for graduation, they have chosen to do it anyway, and recommend it strongly to the rest of the student body and future students. Benita concluded, "This has been a good learning experience. I'm glad the program gave me the incentive to dc something I believed I needed to do." BY REUBEN CABRERA Atlantic Union GLEANER, March 1997 TECHNOLOGY & EDUCATION The Campus is Ready! / 've been working in Academic Computing at Atlantic Union College for three-and-a-half years, and it has never been more exciting than it is this year. AUC is confidently striding forward into tomorrow's age of technology and communications. LAST SUMMER Last summer, AUC improved its internal network, using fiber optics to connect the administration building, the science complex, the library, and Founders' Hall. This network enables faculty and staff to access and share informs. tion across campus quickly and easily. Next summer, the fiber optic network will expand to include the dormitories and possibly other buildings. "Teleteaching" also came to AUC last summer. Loma Linda University and AUC began a program that offers courses between the campuses using real-life video conferencing. A very fast communications line called ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and special equipment were installed. Classes began last fall. With this technology, package: sound, graphics, and moving images.

It also draws students from a spectrum of cultural backgrounds and with a variety of gifts and interests. Why do these students join the Honors Program at Atlantic Union College? The following three Honors Core students have an answer. Olivia Moses, a junior Biology/PreMed major, has appreciated the Honors Program because of her close interaction with professors. She explains, "The classes are smaller than regular classes, so you get to interact on a more personal level with phenomenal teachers like Mrs. Douglas, Dr. Ball, and Dr. Wendth." Olivia recently completed her final project for the program—a directed study in cultural expression in India. "Although I am Indian," she says, "I grew up here in the United States. I didn't know much about Indian culture before I did this project. It opened a whole new world for me." Elizabeth Thomassian is an Honors Core student who is a double-major in English and Psychology and also the Executive Vice President of the Student Association. She believes that the program is academically challenging, but she also appreciates the social interaction that it has fostered "I have a lot of friends who are in the program. We have a lo of fun attending the wide variety of activities that are planned, like our retreat to Cape Cod." "This retreat provides a good opportunity to escape from usual academics," says Ricardo Whyte, a senior Biochemistry/PreMed Major. "We get to study things that normally wouldn't get discussed in the classroom." On the most recent retreat, students and faculty discussed freedom in the New Testament Epistle of Galatians. Other retreats have focused on issues such as religion and gender, suffering and justice in the Book of Job, and the environment. As to why he decided to join the Honors Program, Ricardo, who is presently the Student Association Scholastic Vice President, remarks, "I wanted to really challenge myself academically." And this is what he has found—a challenge. "The program has introduced me to fellow students who are of a very high academic caliber, students who take their studies seriously. It is a benefit to compete with, not against, really good students. I also think the teachers approach their Honors Core classes with a different attitude. They expect more, ask more, and design the program to challenge more." ACADEMICS: Interview with Ileana Douglas, Academic Dean What do you think are AUC's particular academic strengths? At our last visit, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges told me that AUC has always been Vhat makes AUC unique? Our legacy at AUC is being one of the first colleges of he Adventist system; we are pioneers. We are one of the few _olleges in New England that is so diverse. We are working ointegrate interculturalism into the curriculum. The present cality of AUC is intercultural, multi-lingual, inter-generaional, and international. In a way, this is what is allowing us ounderstand the need for community service as well. Community service is reaching out not only for those who are in need but also those who are different from us. What is "intercultural education"? We believe, first of all, that we are one in Christ; so despite the color of our skin, the accents in our languages, or the nature of our backgrounds, we ■re human beings. We belong to the human ace. Because AUC is so intercultural, our :urriculum has to reflect that. The reality in he United States is that nearly everyone eems to speak a different language. If you ire going to serve society, you have to have proficiency in a second language. We are Dne of the first Christian schools that is willing to integrate all these elements and ay to experience a little heaven on earth. We are not going to have a heaven for each Dne of the different cultures and nations. We are going to -lave one Heaven where we all are going to be together. So I :kink that AUC is rehearsing for our future life, whether it is n society or when Jesus comes. The president is very much involved in the process of implementing this across the curriculum in everything we do—not only how we speak, but how we dress, what we eat, what our music is, how we listen to and report the stories of our ancestors. We all have a different story. We can enrich ourselves as we learn from each others' stories. How is AUC bringing advanced technology into higher education? We are putting all possible resources into updating the campus with advanced technology. In the library, we are moving to a system of automation, buying new computers, getting an Internet connection that will allow us to connect to all the other libraries in the area. The Education Department and the Religion Departments are now connected to the Internet as well. The dormitories are going to be connected to the Internet, and we are going to have new computers in the dorms. Dr. Lashley hopes that by the year 2000 we will be able to have computers in each student's room. We have bought new computers for the computer lab—the old computers are being distributed to different areas on campus. We are planning to have a high-tech registration so students can register and preregister over the phone and won't have to physically come to the Academic Records Office. From our collaboration with Loma Linda we also have distance learning—the classroom of the future. Classes generated on the west coast at Loma Linda University can come to the east coast for students at AUC. We are planning to send some of our classes to them next year. Photos include: President Sylvan Lashley, Academic Dean Ileana Douglas, and past and present Honors Core students: Cynthia Christoph, John McDowell, Olivia Moses, Erin Reid, Elizabeth Thomassian, Ricardo Whyte, and Penelope Winkler. Atlantic Union GLEANER, March 1997 nown for the quality of its academic programs—programs hat are solid, programs that are updated, and not only that, cademic programs that stress the values that form good itizens to serve society. Our curriculum stresses faith and earning, which is most important since we are a Christian chool, as well as interculturalism, language proficiency, ommunity service, and technological advancement. I also 'elieve that we have very strong faculty, who are renowned tot only in the Adventist system, but also around the world. 7 Medical Artist Finishes Masterpiece R "Its been nice to be part of an institution that has been here for 100 years."

BERMUDA Mitethig January 17-19 were undeniably the coldest days of the year. That is when the Conference held its annual Workers' Meeting. In Bermuda for the occasion was Dr. Rosa Banks, a Field Secretary for the General Conference and her husband, Brother Halsey Banks. She did a marvelous job on Friday evening by sharing a message from Luke 5, "Drop Your Nets for a Draught." She inspired us as she presented God's word on that cool Sabbath evening in Southampton Church. On Sabbath morning she spoke for the Divine Worship service at the Hamilton Church and on Sabbath afternoon she presented a message to the educators in particular. c,\Ne's Finally at the Southampton Church on Sunday morning, when the wind chill factor made the cool air temperature feel like 27 degrees, Dr. Banks again shared a message of solemnness to the Workers. The message dealt with "Sexual Harassment within the Seventh-day Adventist Church." Sunday morning began with a hearty breakfast at 8:00 a.m. provided by Sister Cheryl Kerr. Later that evening, dinner was served at the Royal Hamilton Dinghy Club with a meal fit for a king and queen. There was no scheduled entertainment, so those attending entertained themselves with humor and music from the most unlikely quarters. It was a delightful end to a delightful weekend.

C. J. Griffin, President James Church, Secretary George Kretschmar New Conference Youth Director George Merlin Kretschmar Jr. was born in Brazil to missionary parents. Though people asked him frequently as a child if he was going to "be a minister like his daddy," he was firm in his conviction that he would not become a pastor. George attended Atlantic Union College, where he met his wife, Marilyn Caez. Marilyn was born in East Hartford, CT. George and Marilyn are the proud parents of Kaiya Marie, now four years old.

By Beverly MacLaughlin NYC Communications Director Rochester Adventists Celebrate "Unity Supper" The holiday season provided the churches of Rochester an opportunity to collectively reflect on their past, their faith, their commission and their goals. In a unique way, the churches of Rochester reflect the world church with its seven congregations divided between two conferences. They stretch from Batavia on the west to Williamson on the east along the southern shore of Lake Ontario. They also stretch to cover African-Americans in three churches, Hispanics in two churches, and Caucasians in two churches and a company. Also included in one of these groups is a hearing-impaired ministry. And so, it was in the spirit of Christian unity that the Rochester area Adventists joined together to attend a Tenebrae Communion Service on December 29, 1996. The term "Tenebrae" is derived from the Latin word for darkness. The service is based upon a medieval Christian service in which "In a unique way, the churches of Rochester reflect the world church" meal was provided that was skillfully planned, prepared and served in the gymnasium. The harmonious participation of so many individuals from the various congregations, their participation in the different aspects of the service, and the meal that followed was a very convincing testimony of the unity of the Spirit of which they sang. Joy was experienced by all as bridges were built, and faith was strengthened by the events of the day. Praise God! He is coming soon!

This darkness was dispelled by Christ's resurrection, symbolized by the relighting of the candles. This ancient service has been modified and the relighting of the candles symbolize not only the last hours of Christ's life and resurrection, but also the ending of the old year and the beginning of new opportunities. The service which followed foot washing was divided into seven steps. Each step was presented by one of the churches and consisted of special music, an appropriate scripture reading, congregational singing, and the blowing out of a candle. The relighting of the candles one by one was greeted with the singing of "Because He Lives." After the candles were relit, Pastor Cornelisse presented a summary reflecting on the past year's events. The congregation then held hands as they sang, "We Are One in the Spirit."

The third and fourth graders at S.L.A./Browning Elementary School experienced a special opportunity on Friday, January 17, when Grace Corrigan, mother of Christa McAuliffe, visited with them and inspired each one of them to "reach for their dreams." Christa McAuliffe is remembered as the teacher who in 1986 at Cape Canaveral, Florida, along with six other astronauts boarded the Challenger shuttle which unexpectedly burst into flames 72 seconds into the mission. McAuliffe's nephew, Michael Bristol of Sterling, is a student in Browning's third grade. Through this connection, Corrigan was invited to speak at the classes' weekly Adventist Junior Youth (AJY) meeting. Corrigan explained to the students that Christa's first love was teaching—working with students just like them. An inspiring video was presented showing Christa preparing for her "space Grace Corrigan, Christa McAuliffe's mother teaching" endeavor. Corrigan then spoke with the children explaining the historical background surrounding the special space expedition planned which integrated the first civilian in space with the NASA program, an event which occurred before the children listening had even been born. McAuliffe's dream that students become excited about learning lives on through her mother who has been regularly meeting with young people for the last ten years. The inspiration to "reach for their dreams" could be seen in the shining faces of the Browning children as they presented Corrigan with a bouquet of flowers at the end of the presentation.
