Southern Adventist University President Gordon Bietz turns 70 on May 1 and to celebrate this milestone friends and co-workers are embarking on a 70-mile bike ride.
The ride will start at Southern at 8:30 a.m. and travel to Graysville, Tennessee the original site of Southern's campus. After a picnic lunch, riders return to Southern around 3 p.m. for a birthday celebration in front of Wright Hall.
The ride is already full, but those wishing to be invited can visit Southern.edu/birthday and learn about other ways to honor Mr. Bietz.
