Roll out the welcome mat

Between the General Conference Session currently underway and the EXSEED conference starting next week, Loma Linda University Health has rolled out the red carpet to welcome guests from around the world.

The GC Session has been and will continue to bring tour traffic to Loma Linda with Seventh-day Adventist representatives from Uruguay, Bolivia, the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Guadalupe Conference, French Martinique Conference, Brazil, Indonesia New Caledonia Mission, London, Australia and throughout the United States.

In addition to this, the EXSEED — “Excellence in STEM Experimental Education” — conference will be held July 13-17. STEM means science, technology, engineering and math.

This collaborative program is intended to enhance the integration of STEM education in Adventist kindergarten-through-12th grade schools across the U.S., as well as other local schools.

Allotting space for nearly 100 participants, conference attendees will come from K-12 education as well as higher education partners, including Andrews University, Kettering College, La Sierra University, Loma Linda University, Pacific Union College, Walla Walla University and the Pacific Union Conference, along with five representatives from Jamaica.

The goal of EXSEED is to collaboratively support and empower educators in teaching the STEM disciplines within a Mission-Focused Learning context, which is the hallmark of education at Loma Linda University Health.
