English Department Events

Parting is such sweet sorrow...

We will sorely miss both Dr. Scott Moncrieff and Dr. Vanessa Corredera. Dr. Moncrieff will be retiring after 35 years of service to the Andrews Univeristy English Department. We know that he will enjoy the extra time to golf and learn a fourth (?) language and probably at least one new instrument! Dr. Corredera, has served the department for 13 years. We wish her all the best as she begins her full professorship at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Both of these professors have made a positive impact, not only in our own department and with their numerous students over the years but also in their own fields of study and their local communities. Thank you both for your time, energy, and caring!
