INFO Editorial: Higher Education Empowering Development

The AIIAS School of Graduate Studies Forum, held November 16-18, 2006, and sponsored specifically by the Department of Public Health, focused on the supporting role that academia should have in assisting development and developing countries. Presentations were made by local and international leaders from the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), as well as presenters who looked at development from a business perspective, from a spiritual perspective, and from very practical perspectives. Some of the Forum presentations are published in this issue, along with a student research article, and related book reviews.
