Just a quick note that the initial deadline for the Bosscher-Hammond Prizes is only one week away. These prizes will recognize projects that integrate faith, life, and learning, and that demonstrate how academia and the professions can contribute to human flourishing. Twenty-six finalists will receive free registration to Following Christ 2008, and three winners will receive $2,000.
To put that in perspective, that’s enough for a MacBook Air and an iPod Nano, because, um, you need cool stuff like that to finish your Ph.D. Or, it’s enough for a family of four to go to Disney World for week because, after all, what better way to celebrate your Ph.D. in aerospace engineering than dozens of rides on Space Mountain?
