Southern Adventist University opens the 50th season of its E.A. Anderson Lecture Series on Monday, Jan. 22, in Room 3205 of Brock Hall on SAU’s Collegedale campus.

Lectures will be held most Mondays through April at 7 p.m. in Brock Hall.

Evie VandeVere, the first women’s ministries director in the Georgia-Cumberland Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, will be the first speaker of this season. She is the wife of the late Wayne VandeVere, who was chairman of Southern’s business department when the lecture series was founded 50 years ago.

The Anderson Lecture Series is hosted by the SAU School of Business. It features speakers who share their insight into the business world. The lectures are open to the public, and continuing education credit is offered.
