Our graduates have become prominent thought leaders in all fields. Yet few outside of the system know who we are and what we do. Perspectives in Adventist Education is a podcast series which seeks out current voices to share how we are facing educational questions with an Adventist perspective. Recorded at the 2023 NAD Teacher’s Convention in Phoenix, Arizona.
