After a careful planning process of nearly two years, on March 1, 2004, ��ñ���� launched the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) — an endeavor of interest to all Christian scholars from undergraduates to senior faculty. Building upon the insight and guidance of a diverse advisory council of university and college faculty and ��ñ���� staff, the ESN Director, and a work group of faculty and staff eagerly open the doors on this thirty-year vision. In the words of the ESN Mission Statement:

“The Emerging Scholars Network is called to identify, encourage, and support the next generation of Christian scholars, at all stages of their academic careers, who will be a redeeming influence within higher education.”

Included in the launch events are:

• the opening of free, for new members
• an opening slate of online resources at for members and non-members alike
• brochures and brainstorming flyers that will be distributed to all ��ñ���� staff, among others
• presentations about ESN to ministry leaders inside and outside of ��ñ����
• an upcoming panel presentation at the conference, “Christianity and the Soul of the University”

Stan Wallace, Director of ��ñ����’s Faculty Ministry and of the Emerging Scholars Network, welcomes scholars at every career stage to join, and hopes that the Network will be a rich opportunity for collaboration among campus ministers as well, within all of ��ñ���� and beyond.
