ABOUT THE COVER

Illustration by Hannah Gerig Meyer ’08

This issue’s feature stories include several examples of how vision, imagination and dreams have become or are becoming reality at Goshen College. With a digital illustration of a starry night sky hanging high above the Broken Shield sculpture in the middle of campus, our graphic designer Hannah Gerig Meyer ’08 sought to capture what happens as we look up, reach beyond ourselves, seek the Creator’s guidance and embrace the broader world with wonder and wisdom.
