As you are contemplating your year-end giving, Southern Adventist University is very happy to announce the near completion of Florida Hospital Hall, the new home of Southern's School of Nursing. A grand opening is planned for Sabbath evening, January 8, 2011, for all the donors that made this possible for our students.

The Campaign for Health and Healing included the Hulsey Wellness Center, Southern's state-of-the-art fitness and wellness education center, and Florida Hospital Hall. As a 17.5 million dollar project, we are very pleased there is only $400,000 left to raise.

With the opening just around the corner, it is essential that we conclude fundraising before the building opens. If you have not given a gift to the Campaign for Health and Healing, or if you would like to give another gift, now is the time.

For a second consecutive season, Southern's Institute of Archaeology, in partnership with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, organized an archaeological expedition to the biblical site of Khirbet Qeiyafa in Israel.

The most fascinating find of the season was a cave located underground. Inside, the team discovered beautiful examples of Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic pottery, as well as bronze jewelry, and coins. For those who may be interested in joining the project, the 2011 season is scheduled to take place from June 8 to July 22.

All requests for official transcripts from Southern will now be handled online through the National Student Clearinghouse, making the process faster and more efficient. "There is no data entry, cash handling, or consent form collection, which means fewer work interruptions and faster service," said Joni Zier, director of Records and Advisement.
