What does it look like for leaders—across all campus offices and academic departments—to strengthen their institution’s work in vocational exploration and discernment? Whether through the initiatives they launch or alongside the people for whom they have responsibility, staff and faculty members have rich opportunities to lead vocation-related work on campus. Participants in this workshop will hear from experienced leaders about the ways that vocation has informed their own work, both personally and professionally. The session will also provide opportunities for participants to reflect on their vocational path into leadership and to consider how vocation informs their ongoing work of contributing to the leadership of their institutions.
