About the Event

God made us in His image, and He made us to create. Christian students and faculty regularly use their creativity to discover new things. We crafted a creative new devotional booklet to help scholars connect faith and work as they discover ideas to help all of us flourish.

Join Dr. Hannah Eagleson, the Associate Director of the Intervarsity Emerging Scholars Network, for an intimate evening to reflect with others on creativity, the life of the mind, and growing in Christ.

This event, organized in support of Hannah’s work with Intervarsity, will feature:

  • A ministry update from Hannah
  • A chance to explore our new Scholar’s Compass devotional
  • An interview on creativity with Scholar’s Compass booklet designer Ned Bustard
  • Meet other friends, supporters, and participants connected to Hannah’s ministry and the Emerging Scholar’s Network

Ned Bustard is the graphic designer for World’s End Images and Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA). He crafted the illustrations and book design for the new Scholar’s Compass booklet. He is also a children’s book illustrator, author, and a printmaker. Some of the books he has written, illustrated, or edited include It Was Good: Making Art to the Glory of God, the Veritas Press Legends & Leagues series, Squalls Before War: His Majesty’s Schooner Sultana, The Chronicles of Narnia Comprehension Guide, Bede’s History of ME, History of Art: Creation to Contemporary, The Reformation ABC’s, Bigger on the Inside: Christianity and Doctor Who, Every Moment Holy, and Revealed: A Storybook Bible for Grown-Ups. He is an elder at Wheatland Presbyterian Church, creative director for Square Halo Books, Inc., curator of the Square Halo Gallery, and serves on the boards of the Association of Scholars of Christianity in the History of Art (ASCHA) and The Row House, Inc. He and his wife Leslie have three daughters, one dog, and an unreasonable amount of books. Ned lives in the West End of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
