La Sierra University’s leadership recently announced to students and employees its plans to re-open the campus for fall quarter 2021-22 while keeping operations online through the end of the current school year.
The university’s Emergency Management Team, which last year created and approved the university’s COVID-19 response and re-opening plan, voted on Jan. 19, in light of the national coronavirus vaccine rollout, a return of in-person, onsite operations this September for the next school year. The university moved its operations online on March 16, 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic descended upon the nation.

The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has donated 500,000 masks to La Sierra University in Riverside, California, United States, to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in nearby communities. Health officials report COVID-19 cases, and the death toll, continue to rise in southern California. Riverside County alone has confirmed more than 228,000 positive cases and 2,300 deaths since the beginning of 2021, and the numbers are expected to increase as the year unfolds.
“We are so privileged for our university and its students to be able to partner with ADRA in distributing greatly needed face masks to our communities in Riverside. Scores of people will be provided this very important tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19,” John Thomas, dean of the La Sierra University Zapara School of Business and an ADRA board member, told ADRA.

It was midnight in Germany when an archaeology event highlighting ancient discoveries began livestreaming from 6,000 miles away at La Sierra University in Riverside, California, United States. But Evanthia Hatziminaoglou, an astrophysicist with the European Southern Observatory in Garching bei München, decided to view as much of it as her energy level would allow.
Hatziminaoglou had connected 10 years earlier with La Sierra archaeologists while serving as a dig site volunteer in Jordan. She had also delivered a joint presentation in Italy in 2019 on research into astronomy and archaeology with archaeologist Doug Clark, director of La Sierra’s Center for Near Eastern Archaeology (CNEA) on the school campus.
