SPECIAL MESSAGE TO GRADUATES
Dear Graduates,
The last few years have presented new challenges to you. Learning has been different; community has had to be formed in new ways; we have all had to discover new ways to do old things, and creative ways to do what is new. But you have succeeded! All of us at Andrews University are proud of you. I am proud of you.
We are particularly proud of your achievement in reaching this point of graduation. You have faced challenges with courage and determination. You have grown academically and personally. You have also shared with us your story, your lives. That has been a gift to us and we are the better for having had you as a student at Andrews University.
Thank you too for engaging with us as a community of faith. The journey of faith means constant learning as we deepen our understanding of the gospel. You have done that alongside us, and our hope is that as you graduate you do so with a deepened commitment to your God and to being an active part of a faith community.
I want to thank you too for being a class that has taken to heart the phrase, World Changers Made Here. I have seen the way you have made a difference already: to this campus community, to the local community and to the world. I know you are poised to continue with that same commitment. World Changers for a changing world.
I would leave with you two texts that as President I seek to live by daily:
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” I John 4:7,8
Blessings to each of you!
Andrea Luxton President
PRESIDENT’S CHARGE
Graduates of Andrews University, you now start a new chapter in your personal
and professional life. I would ask you to approach this particular chapter with
clarity of purpose and commitment to values and faith that represent Andrews
University, your alma mater. As a University we claim, “World Changers Made
Here.” You are now poised to show the truth of that claim.
While at this University you have engaged with your faculty and staff who
have chosen to be both Christians and exemplary professionals. They have
invited you and your peers to consistently live out your faith with relevance
and integrity. They have encouraged you to reach the highest goals academically
and professionally. And, today, I ask you to embrace the opportunities and
challenges that await you with passion and conviction. Carry with you the best
of all that you have learned here and use your increased knowledge and skills to
add meaningful quality and spiritual significance to this world.
You leave here with a degree but this is certainly not the end of your learning.
Continue to seek honestly for the truth. Desire to keep learning more of God’s
kingdom. Search for opportunities where you can bring freshness, healing and
creativity. Advance your profession with enthusiasm and integrity. Live with
warmth, compassion and energy. With all this, always remember to be still and
hear the gentle guiding whisper of God.
So I charge you, as graduates of Andrews University, to live by these values and
ideals. And may the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit go with you always.

HONORARY DEGREE—MAY 2022
Nina Rachelle Atcheson
Candidate for Honorary DegreeDoctor of Pedagogy
Nina Rachelle Atcheson (nee Koolik) was born in Australia. She attended Adventist schools until her family moved to Russia as missionaries in 1992. After returning to Australia in grade 11 and completing high school, Atcheson received a scholarship to attend Avondale College where she earned her BA in teaching with a major in English and a minor in religion. In 2003 she married Matthew Atcheson. Later, she earned a Master of Religious Education from Australian Catholic University.
From 2001–2004, Atcheson worked at Sydney Adventist College. It was during this time that she began to write new teaching programs to engage students in Bible classes. She also served at Northpine Christian College from 2005–2006.
In 2006 Atcheson resigned from teaching to be a stay-at-home mom. She balanced caretaking with a project from Adventist Schools Australia—writing the high school component of a new Bible course of study called the Adventist Encounter Curriculum. In 2007, she launched the Encounter Curriculum in the United Kingdom with Lanelle Cobbin, colleague and primary author of the Elementary Encounter Curriculum. For the next eight years, Atcheson worked as secondary curriculum officer, writing and editing teaching units, managing the production and distribution of the curriculum, and training teachers in the Australian Union with her colleagues.
Atcheson then served for three years as the associate director of education and curriculum for the North American Division. As author of the Adventist Encounter Bible Curriculum for grades 9–12, she managed its production, training, rollout and implementation for secondary schools.
The implementation of the Encounter Bible Curriculum has shifted how the Bible is taught in Adventist schools in North America and countries around the world. The goal of the curriculum is to facilitate Bible classes where every student’s relationship with Jesus is nurtured through countless connection opportunities with Him and a growing, confident knowledge of Scripture—using the Bible as the textbook—so that students may be challenged to make an eternal difference in our world. Teachers use 21st-century teaching and learning strategies for maximum engagement and lifelong learning.
Before her departure from the North American Division in 2017, Atcheson received the Journey of Excellence Award from the North American Division Office of Education. In 2018, she returned to the Australian Union in a new role: Adventist identity officer, where she created resources and provided support for school principals and teachers. The Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists called her to serve as curriculum manager and senior editor in 2020. She is currently overseeing the development of the new Sabbath School curriculum, “Alive in Jesus,” for the world church.
For her commitment to lifelong learning and her innovative development of K–12 curriculum that focuses on the Bible as the textbook, Andrews University takes great pleasure in honoring Nina Rachelle Atcheson with the degree Doctor of Pedagogy, honoris causa.

Roger Hochoon Pak is an Associate Research Fellow at Pfizer, Andover, Massachusetts, and a subject matter expert in biotherapeutic drug delivery technologies. He holds a BS (with Honors) in chemistry from Andrews University and a PhD in chemistry from the University of California-Los Angeles. Throughout his career in academia and in the biopharmaceutical industry, he has explored innovative chemistry and biotechnology in order to deliver bioactive molecules in the search for breakthrough therapies.
Pak is the youngest of five children to Korean emigrant parents. After the Korean War, Pak’s parents immigrated to Hinsdale, Illinois, where he was born. Funding for his college tuition would have been difficult with two other siblings in college, but a well-timed scholarship from Dow Chemical Company was an answer to the family’s prayers.
During his undergraduate career, Pak completed chemistry internships at Argonne National Laboratories and at the University of Notre Dame. He also completed independent chemistry projects at Andrews with professors Dwain Ford and Robert Wilkins. As a graduate student, Pak held an NIH Biotechnology Fellowship at the City of Hope National Cancer Institute. He went on to receive an NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of California-Davis, where he gained expertise with bioconjugation chemistry and radioimmunotherapy.
Following an extensive academic career, Pak held positions at Bristol Myers Squibb, Infinity Pharmaceuticals and Wyeth/Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. He worked on a variety of drug products in clinical and commercial stages and an even wider variety of drug delivery technologies.
Recently, Pak worked on the COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty®) from Pfizer/BioNTech, which utilized lipid nanoparticle technology to deliver mRNA. As the team lead of several multi-department matrix teams, he was responsible for the lipid chemistry, manufacturing and controls for all markets worldwide. The team’s work led to FDA and EMA license approvals.
Pak participated in the investigation, development and evaluation of drug delivery technologies, including RNA/LNP delivery, antibody-drug conjugates, polymer conjugates and targeted nanoparticles used in pipeline portfolio projects. Additionally, he is experienced in leading company-wide networks. He served as co-chair of the Drug Delivery Council and chair of the Bioconjugation Network and has received multiple Individual Performance Awards from 2010–2015, as well as W.E. Upjohn Awards from 2015–2021. He was awarded the Pfizer BTxPS Impact Award in 2020.
Pak married Laurel Gwun in 1994 and they raised three children, Joshua, Andrew and Anna. Their two sons currently attend Andrews University, and their daughter is a high school senior. The Pak family attends the College Adventist Church in South Lancaster, Massachusetts, where Pak volunteers his time working on the audiovisual team. He also serves on the Andrews University Board of Trustees.
For his leadership and innovative research in projects that bring positive change to society and the world, Andrews University takes great pleasure in honoring Roger Hochoon Pak with the degree Doctor of Science, honoris causa.

Academic RegaliaAndrews University adheres to the academic costume code for universities in the United States, initially drafted in 1885 and revised in 1932. A committee on Acetonic Costumes and Ceremonies, appointed by the American Council on Education, has, on different occasions, reviewed the costume and made several significant changes.
The gown for the associate degree is gray in color and styled the same as a bachelor’s degree gown. The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves. It is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The gown is designed to be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctoral degree has bell-shaped sleeves. It is designed to be worn open or closed. These gowns are usually black, but the Andrews University doctoral gown is dark blue and trimmed in black velvet with the University seal on the left lapel near the top.
The length of the hood worn for the bachelor’s degree, if one is used, is three feet; for the master’s degree, three and one-half feet; and for the doctoral degree, four feet. The hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The Andrews University hood is lined with dark blue and gold. Inasmuch as members of the Andrews University faculties hold degrees from a large number of colleges and universities, space does not permit identification of each.
The colors of the velvet borders associated with the different fields of learning for degrees and adopted by Andrews University are as follows:
Agriculture ..............................MaizeArchitecture .............................Blue VioletArts, Letters, Humanities .........WhiteBusiness ....................................DrabDentistry ...................................Lilac Economics .................................CopperEducation ..................................Light BlueEngineering ...............................OrangeFine Arts ...................................BrownJournalism ................................CrimsonLaw ............................................Purple

At Andrews University undergraduate candidates wear hoods. They also wear cords or medallions signifying that they are members of a National Honor Society and graduating with honors. The identifying colors are as follows:
Graduating with Honors ........................................................ Gold, blue and white cord Graduating with a Cumulative GPA of 3.50 or Better ..................................White cord Member of a Departmental National Honor Society ........................................ Red cord Member of Phi Kappa Phi. ....................................................... Medallion on blue ribbon
The designation “J.N. Andrews Honors Scholar” signifies completion of the J. N. Andrews Honors Program’s Scholars’ Alternative General Education Studies curriculum, submission of a senior Honors Thesis, and achievement of a 3.5 overall GPA.
Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Cum Laude means an undergraduate student has the following minimum overall GPA earned on the A, B, C, D, F scale (A=4).
Summa Cum Laude ........................ 3.90–4.00 Magna Cum Laude .......................... 3.75–3.89 Cum Laude ..................................... 3.50–3.74

Membership in the Society of Andrews Scholars requires a minimum grade point average of 3.33, completion of the J.N. Andrews Honors Program’s Scholars’ Alternative General Education Studies curriculum, and submission of a se-nior Honors Thesis. Those students who meet the previous criteria and attain an overall GPA of 3.5 earn the additional designation “J.N. Andrews Honors Scholar.” The designation “J.N. Andrews Honors Scholar” reflects an undergradu-ate student’s dedication to independent scholarship, interdisciplinary study, the integration of faith and learning, and abiding intellectual curiosity. Each scholar is expected to display the same pioneering spirit as John Nevins Andrews (1829–1883)—scholar, theologian, missionary and third president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adven-tists—who provided the name for this university and the ethos invigorating its mission. A statue of Andrews and his family stands just outside Pioneer Memorial Church.

Undergraduate Leadership Certificate and Minor
Undergraduate Leadership helps students identify their unique strengths and hone their abilities to make a difference. The certificate is a concentrated curriculum that allows students to clarify their contribution to the community. The minor builds on the certificate by diving deeper into the mechanics of leadership. Students engage in a leadership practicum, receiving mentor-ing, accumulating a knowledge base, and designing a growth plan. With a change project and portfolio in hand, they enter the workforce with the confidence and skills to contribute to the “legacy of leadership” of J.N. Andrews.
The Randall Leadership Medallion is awarded to students who have completed the academic requirements and embody the characteristics represented by the symbols on the medallion.
The Lion and the Lamb—Spiritual Leadership, Courage, ServanthoodThe Spyglass—Intentionality, Vision, Leadership CapacitiesThe Oak Tree—Continual Growth of Character, LegacyShaking Hands—Relationships, Teamwork, Collaboration

Student Missionaries and Taskforce Workers
Andrews University is pleased its legacy instills the value of service in the current generation. These young people are not content with the status quo and believe change can occur through the courage and hard work of an individual. Many stu-dents are now planning a gap year of service as part of their college education. They are called "student missionaries" or "task force workers" but ultimately they are volunteers following a higher calling. Taking a year off, putting their academic program, social life, career plans and relationships all on hold is not an easy choice or one to be taken lightly. This is a path paved with character-building challenges.
We wish to thank them for their spirit of service and know that those moments have changed not only their own but the lives of those they served. (Volunteers are wearing silver cords.)
May the LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24–26 (NKJV)

Professionally produced video of each service will also be available on the Andrews University YouTube channel after the services: andrews.edu/go/youtube.
The Senior Class of 2022 proudly presents our senior class gift to the Andrews University community via our partnership with Bird. Founded in 2017 by a former executive of Lyft and Uber, Bird is an electric scooter company that provides an on-demand, dockless electric scooter service. Riders can find and rent electric scooters with their smartphone app and drop off at almost any safe site near their destination. Riders utilize in-app maps to locate an electric scooter and reserve them for safe and environmentally-friendly transportation.
Partnering together with Bird, the Senior Class of 2022 endeavors to better connect students with the surrounding communities of Berrien Springs and Oronoko Township. Bridging the gap between traditional public infrastructure and private transportation, students will be able to zip to and from their destination, whether that be from class to class or downtown Berrien Springs. With this class gift, we hope to boldly embody our school motto, “World Changers Made Here.”

Program NotesThe Processional
Regalia: A Grand Processional on DiaDemata, by Kenneth Logan, professor of music, received its premiere presentations at the Andrews University spring 2001 commencements. University President Niels-Erik Andreasen commissioned Regalia in August 1999 for use in University commencements. Its title draws inspiration both from the traditional “regalia” garments of commencement services and from a hymn text associated with the hymn tune on which the composition is based. DIADEMATA is that grand melody graced by the regal words, “Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns, All music but its own!...” (Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, No. 223)
Thus, on this ceremonial occasion the organ processional evokes this surpassing context—the resplendent coronation of Jesus Christ—in which all earthly ceremony pales by comparison. In keeping with University tradition, Regalia provides distinct fanfares before the processionals of graduates, faculty and president’s party. In the remaining sections the emphasis falls on transformations of the DIADEMATA melody.
