Text-generation models soon followed, revealing possibilities that seemed almost limitless. “The potential uses were immense,” Louw said. “But they were often limited by a user’s creativity or a lack of understanding about how generative AI works.” Louw’s interest grew out of his work at the intersection of theology, history and technology. A former pastor in Texas, he is now an Adventist studies doctoral student at the Seventh-day Theological Seminary at Andrews University, where he researches hamartiology, the branch of Christian systematic theology that studies sin.  <<< Read the full story at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/doctoral-student-explores-artificial-intelligence-for-adventist-research-and-ministry/">site</a> >>> Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:51:14 +0000 Music Alumnus Pays Homage to Late Professor http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/69402 Violinist Mailyn Iribar Corpas, an alumnus of the Andrews University Department of Music, recently received the first prize Nerenberg Award and Farwell Trust Award in the Senior Instrumental Division from the Musicians Club of Women and won the inaugural Ruthmere Solo Strings Competition.

He said he’s worked with great health officers–from Jerry Erickson to Mike Mortimer to Nikki Britten to Courtney Davis and now, Guy Miller. “I think public health really, really makes a difference in this world with clean water, sewer, septic tanks,” said McBride, who is 80 years old. “It’s really making a difference in the lives and the quality of life of people and so it's been a pleasure and honor for me to be a part of this.” McBride grew up in the Chicago suburbs before moving to Berrien Springs to attend Andrews University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in behavioral science in 1968. He received his PhD in sociology in 1976 from the University of Kentucky and worked for 13 years with the University of Miami School of Medicine in psychiatry and behavioral science before returning to Southwest Michigan. <div> <<< Read the full story at the Paxton Media Group <a href="https://www.paxtonmedia.com/news/the_herald_palladium/mcbride-reflects-on-years-with-berrien-county-board-of-health/article_b64ef211-72d0-572f-862e-7a8927c20e82.html">site</a> and Herald-Palladium <a href="https://www.heraldpalladium.com/communities/berrien_springs/mcbride-reflects-on-years-with-berrien-county-board-of-health/article_6aaf84ce-5a4a-5d1b-ba8a-b3de823b3d30.html">site</a> >>></div> Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:14:36 +0000 New Flight Simulator for Aviation Program http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/69148 The Department of Aviation at Andrews University recently unveiled a new 737-MAX Crew Resource Trainer, a full-scale replica of a Boeing 737 cockpit designed to enhance advanced pilot training.
