01 November 2011 Bracknell, United Kingdom<\/strong><\/span> [ted<\/i>NEWS]\u00a0On Thursday 27 October the Adventist Colleges Abroad (ACA) Board of Directors voted to welcome Newbold College as an affiliate member of Adventist Colleges Abroad, a consortium of Colleges and Universities in the North-American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe passionately that this partnership can afford significant opportunities for North-American students who choose to explore, live and learn abroad in England for a year\u201d Dr Philip Brown, Principal, Newbold College said in welcoming the decision. \u201cOur wish is that students who are attracted to Newbold will discover not only the unique diversity of our college community but seek out the numerous opportunities afforded on and off campus to cultivate their spirituality and learn for life\u201d Dr Brown added.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cIt is my joy to announce to you that the ACA Board of Directors voted to welcome Newbold College into the Adventist Colleges Abroad, a consortium of Colleges and Universities in the North-American Division\u201d Dr Odette Ferreira, Secretary of the ACA Executive Board and Director, ACA advised Dr Brown in writing last week. \u201cWe are looking forward to this partnership and to the opportunity of offering our North-American students this new international experience which, with God\u2019s help, will be unique in their lives.\u201d Dr Ferreira said. \u201cThe Office of Education, as well as the North American Division administration rejoice over this new venture\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy approving a studies abroad program in Newbold College, England, ACA is expanding its offerings of international education in new and exciting ways\u201d Dr Niels-Erik Andreasen, Vice Chair of the ACA Executive Board announced. \u201cIn addition to studying several languages, ACA students can now explore the arts, letters, humanities, social sciences, and religion in a European setting while being exposed to more traditional British ways of teaching and learning\u201d Dr Andreasen added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted about this news. It was part of the restructuring plan in February to achieve this objective\u201d Dr Bertil Wiklander, Chair of the Newbold College Board of Trustees said in also welcoming the decision. \u201cWell done, Newbold! We are thankful to North America for including us in ACA and will provide an offer to students that is difficult to resist!\u201d Dr Wiklander stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted that Newbold College has been received into the ACA consortium\u2019 Dr John Baildam, Deputy Principal, Newbold College said upon hearing of the ACA Board of Directors decision. \u201cThis will give students from the USA a unique opportunity to study English literature within just an hour’s drive of where much of it was written, and to develop intercultural competencies and understandings, especially in terms of learning to appreciate and use a very different form of the English language\u201d Dr Baildam emphasised. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming this new cohort of students to our multicultural campus\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“I believe that an international experience is one of the most exciting and enriching experiences that a student can have. Encountering different cultures, habits and people makes you open-minded and gives you the ability to look at life from a whole different perspective\u201d Izak Juric, recently elected President of the Newbold Student Association (NSA) commented. \u201cNewbold College is in itself a melting pot of various nations and with London and the best low cost airline connections with the rest of the Europe in it’s immediate vicinity, it is the place where students searching for real international experience want to be\u201d Izak enthused.<\/p>\n

Newbold will now be profiled in the upcoming ACA Bulletin and catalogue in readiness for the 2012-13 recruitment cycle across North America. \u201cI have received confirmation that Newbold will also be featured in other ACA displays and materials and presentations for the schools sector over the year ahead\u201d Dr Philip Brown advised. \u201cWe have also been offered the opportunity to send a representative on two promotional trips – one from late January 2012 (US east coast providers i.e., Andrews University, Southern Adventist University, Oakwood University, Union College and Washington Adventist University) and the other from late February 2012 (US west coast providers i.e., Walla Walla, Pacific Union College and La Sierra University)\u201d Dr Brown confirmed.
