Using the NetVUE Conversation Cards on Calling, Career, and a Life Well-Lived
Explore, Engage, and Envision! Tap into this resource that contains questions for students at all levels of vocational inquiry, from first-year icebreakers to senior-year capstones.
In this webinar, we will hear from MT Dávila of Merrimack College, Jennifer Ferguson of MidAmerica Nazarene University, Monique Jimenez-Herrera of St. Edward’s University, and Peter Carlson Schattauer of St. Olaf College (pictured here, clockwise from top left). They will discuss their experiences and creative insights into using the conversation cards in their work. In addition, Krista Hughes, NetVUE’s director of resource development, will be on hand to share information on the latest decks available. The webinar will be hosted by Rachel Pickett, NetVUE webinar coordinator.
We will gather on Monday, February 3rd, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern (1:00 Central, 12:00 noon Mountain, 11:00 a.m. Pacific). The webinar is open to anyone at a NetVUE member institution at no cost, but registration is required. The conversation cards have already seen a great deal of use on NetVUE campuses, and reviews have been very positive! Tune into this webinar to learn more.
NetVUE Regional Gathering
Vocation and the Common Good: The Call of Belonging and Community
Join us for the first NetVUE regional gathering of the spring semester! The trees will already be flowering in Greenville, South Carolina, when Furman University hosts Vocation and the Common Good: The Call of Belonging and Community. This event takes place February 20–22, 2025; as usual, the event is heavily subsidized, so participants from NetVUE member institutions pay only $100, which includes all meals and two nights’ lodging.
Celebrating the most recent NetVUE volume Called Beyond Our Selves: Vocation and the Common Good, this regional gathering will feature some of the publication’s contributing writers. They will explore how we might invite students to see their lives as connected with others’ well-being, which can shift the ways that we define meaning, purpose, and success. Participants will have the opportunity to consider how we know and live into our place in the world—and how we encourage students to discern vocations for the common good.
NetVUE Regional Gathering
Vocation for All: Strategies for Programming and Assessment
Join us in the beautiful spring season of the Pacific Northwest at Pacific Lutheran University for the opportunity to learn from higher education leaders about how vocational exploration and discernment can be used to connect equity-based teaching strategies with assessment practices. Participants will gather on April 3–5, 2025, in Tacoma, Washington. As with most NetVUE regional gatherings, the event is heavily subsidized; participants pay only $100, which covers meals and two nights’ lodging. Uniquely for this event, because it is located far from many NetVUE institutions, a limited number of half-cost travel grants are available for teams of at least two people; after registering, send travel grant requests to Ashley Woodbeck, NetVUE office manager, at awoodbeck@cic.edu.
