Flourishing

You may have noticed that things have been pretty darn slow here at the Following Christ blog. I have been super busy welcoming new graduate students to Wake Forest University and reconnecting with familiar faces back after summers spent around the globe. It’s that time of year again.

Rest assured, however, that much has been going on behind the scenes. Plans are falling into place nicely for December’s conference. For more up-to-date information on this subscribe to our Twitter Feed here. Of course, there’s always information available at our website.

Here’s an especially cool part of the conference, the Bosscher-Hammond prizes. Here’s the scoop:

InterVarsity’s Graduate & Faculty Ministries (GFM) is sponsoring the Bosscher-Hammond Prizes, a juried competition culminating during the Following Christ 2008 Conference (FC08), December 27-31, in Chicago.

Three winning submissions will each receive $2,000 in cash and recognition during the conference. Twenty-six semifinalists will receive free registration for the main FC08 conference, December 28-31.

Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words so check out this video:

While I’m at it, let me give a shout out to Mike Hickerson at Emerging Scholars. He’s started a new blog that seeks to connect with students who are headed into the academy. Check it out
