Andy Fest was started 6 years ago to honor former Warren Wilson College beloved community member Andy Summers, who passed away on March 13, 2008.  Andy was the campus minister for student on campus as well as a Professor of Peace and Justice Studies.  He was a jovial and welcoming spirit who was deeply involved in causes for social justice.
