Are you planning to attend the 59th General Conference Session of the Worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church? Washington Adventist University will be there with a booth, a number of concerts, and faculty and staff participation in numerous events. We hope to see you there.
The University’s booth is no. 1145, building C, area C4A. Enter the main entrance of the exhibit hall, turn left and walk down aisle 1100 or 1200. Please stop by to chat, get a copy of our latest magazine, and, if you’re a member of the alumni association, collect our exclusive WAU lapel pin. We’ll be open whenever the exhibit hall is open.
Washington Adventist University, Columbia Union College, and Washington Missionary College alumni are invited to a light buffet supper on Thursday, July 1, from 5-7 pm in the World Congress Center Building A, Rooms 402 & 403. Please join WAU President Weymouth Spence for this fun and relaxing reunion.
