Anderson Fund helps honors student expand
her mind and Christian studies major connect with world-class preachers Hannah Brown In Hannah Brown’s very first art class at Anderson University, she started learning what it means to find freedom within boundaries. She was tasked with creating a diptych—a pair of related pictures—and was pushed to express herself from different perspectives. Her professors were patient and generous with their oneon-one time as she created her first piece. On one panel was a collage of her personal background; on the other was a photo transfer. For her approach, she focused on her diverse background and life on this earth as a sojourner and created a piece titled “Odyssey.” The diptych shows that this earth is not her home. “The project forced me to think like an artist and a designer,” Brown said. Opportunities to grow and be challenged have extended beyond the art classrooms, too. While majoring in graphic design and minoring in marketing, she also participates in the Honors Program. Her time spent in her honors classes has provided her with new ways to think about things. Most recently, she was interested in a discussion about the differing global views on education–how the West views education like a wellmanicured garden with straight lines and linear paths, while the East views education like a forest, which from the outside can appear more chaotic and complex. All of these learning opportunities are possible because of the financial support she receives through the Anderson Fund. Brown is the recipient of a merit-based scholarship and endowment and arts-related scholarships. She also works in the Admissions Office and the Development Office. “I see God working on this campus in a powerful way on a daily basis,” Brown said. “Being a part of this school has impacted my life, and I am excited for the lives Anderson University will touch in the future.”

He’s served the past two years and looks forward to attending again. At the conference, he has been given access to what he refers to as some of the best preachers and pastors across the world. With the hopes of pastoring his own church one day, Good has found his time volunteering at the National Conference on Preaching to be an invaluable source of growth and encouragement.
