Volleyball. Speakers who’ve shared at Urbana 15 and Veritas Forum, or served as Senior Project Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope. A webcomics and science chat. Hikes in beautiful California scenery. Hearing how science can deepen your Christian faith. What brings all these things together?

The InterVarsity Emerging Scholars Network student/early career track at the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) 2016 conference! It’s not too late to join 40 other students/early career scientists at beautiful Azusa Pacific University near LA on July 22-25, 2016. Cosponsored by InterVarsity’s Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) and ASA, a professional association for Christians in science, this pilot student track will include panels on:

  • Growing Spiritually Through Your Work in Science
  • Finding Christian Mentors/Community in Science
  • Thriving As a Science Student (Graduate or Undergraduate)
  • Talking to Secular Colleagues About Faith  

Confirmed speakers include Josh Swamidass (Urbana 15 talk); Dave Vosburg (Urbana 15 Talk); and Jennifer Wiseman, Senior Project Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope (ESN Interview).

Tom's hoping to see you on the court this summer or next. He was only warming up in 2015 ;)

There will also be a volleyball tournament, hiking options, hangout/community building times with other students and experienced scientists, and an InterVarsity reception. ASA Past President/webcomic author Johnny Lin will also lead an informal conversation about webcomics and science.

The Emerging Scholars Network is always seeking opportunities to identify, encourage, and equip the next generation of Christian scholars to be a redeeming influence in the academy, church, and the world. As you have an announcement, a "call for papers", an event, a prayer request (e.g., campus, field, higher ed), a resource suggestion, a review, etc., which is in concord with our Kingdom of God endeavor, please send materials (marketing/sales material not accepted) for consideration to post via email or the ESN Writer Survey. Thank-you. To God be the glory!

About Us

The Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) is a national network within InterVarsity’s Graduate & Faculty Ministries which supports those on the academic pathway as they work out how their academic vocation serves God and others. We encourage and equip undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculty as they navigate each stage of their academic vocation and transition to the next step in or beyond the academy.
