Resource for Grad Student mentoring of Undergraduates

May 29, 2012 by Tom Grosh IV No Comments

2012 JHU Lunch

In a recent visit to Baltimore, I ate lunch with a group of Johns Hopkins University (JHU) graduate students. Dwight Schwartz (InterVarsity’s Graduate & Faculty Ministry Area Director for the MidAtlantic and Campus Staff Member at JHU) couldn’t wait to introduce me to Lisa, whose labors align so well with the passions and vision of […]

Four Things I Learned about Students and Faculty from Academically Adrift

October 18, 2011 by Micheal Hickerson 1 Comment

Cover of Academically Adrift

Earlier this year, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa created quite a stir with their book Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses.

The NY Times reports that the emotional health of college freshmen is at a 25-year low, based on the annual survey conducted by UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute.

ESN Gatherings at Berea and Ohio State

November 23, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson 2 Comments

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Berea College and (T)he Ohio State University recently. I thought I would let you know how the trips went and how ESN served the different audience. At Berea College, I spoke at the undergraduate InterVarsity “large group” meeting. (IV Jargon Alert! […]

Comparing Research Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges

November 9, 2010 by Micheal Hickerson 1 Comment

This week and next, I’m making a couple of short road trips to speak at two very different schools: small Berea College in Kentucky and huge (massive? gargantuan?) Ohio State University.

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.
