It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Woodrow "Woody" Whidden M. Phil, PhD. A professor that made an impact for good through the Department of Religion & Biblical Languages from 1990-2006 at Andrews University.

Our deepest condolences to the Whidden family. We are looking forward to the day when we will never have to say goodbye.
