Guiding Questions
- How can we prepare students to discern purpose and calling amid rapid social and technological change?
- What practices promote whole-person development in AI-enhanced learning environments?
- How can educators model and mentor vocation-centered discernment in the digital age?
- What frameworks support integration of whole person education and vocation in both traditional and tech-forward educational settings?
- How do we retain values, identity, and spiritual growth in increasingly virtual and automated learning contexts?
In a time of rapid technological change, this event will invite educators to reflect on how we can prepare students not just for careers, but for meaningful lives of service, purpose, and resilience. Rooted in AHU’s commitment to faith-informed, holistic education, the gathering will highlight practices that integrate vocational exploration with whole-person development. The gathering will engage faculty, administrators, and mission leaders from a wide range of colleges and universities. Through shared learning, peer dialogue, and collaboration, participants will consider how institutions can nurture belonging, wellbeing, fulfillment, and purpose in students and educators alike.
