News from our schools within the Mid-Atlantic region

A retrospective art exhibition, “The Old and the New” will open at Washington Adventist University (WAU) on Wednesday, March 1, with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m.

Beulah Manuel, director of the International Student Program at Washington Adventist University in Takoma Park, Md., says some international students on campus are concerned, questioning if they can continue studying in the United States or if they can return home at the end of the school year.

While most of their schools’ home economics programs include instruction in cooking, finances and sewing, very few, if any, teach true fashion (style, technique and usage of dress). Faced with the fashion challenges of today, our young people need a solution. For Takoma Academy, the solution would be spearheaded by one of their own—Toni Horne.
