A Taste of Southern | Photo Gallery

Relive the Memories from our inaugural event in 2022

The 2022 inaugural Taste of Southern event celebrated 130 years of Southern Adventist University’s dedication to transforming lives academically, spiritually, and socially. I was held at the alumni-owned Westin Hotel and featured a Southern curated art gallery, farm-to-table dinner from the Southern farm, and entertainment from Southern’s steel band and I Cantori chorale group. The event raised over $97,000 dollars, the proceeds of which were used to start the First-Generation Student Endowment.
