“A steward leader is one who works not for their own glory or reputation, but for the sake of the master,” said AIIAS President Ginger Ketting-Weller during the officer installation. “A steward leader is there to care for what is entrusted into their hands. Today, I want to welcome you, the new Student Association officers, to the work to which you have been called.” Ketting-Weller continued, “God has entrusted you with responsibility as a steward of His people, your colleagues, your fellow students. It is your job to care for people and for things, to organize and to plan, and to carry out plans.”
The new student officers were installed and introduced during the chapel program on August 27, 2021. Coming from various nationalities with global experience, these student officers have an in-depth understanding of cultures and various leadership styles needed in a unique international community such as the one AIIAS offers.
