This session features two institution-wide, four-year vocational development initiatives—Berry College’s The Berry Journey and Salve Regina University’s Salve Compass—rooted in each campus’s mission and designed to help students cultivate purposeful goals, planning mindsets, and a sense of calling for their lives and work. Through scaffolded curricular and co-curricular experiences, and by intentionally integrating vocational exploration with life-design methodology, both programs guide students toward reflection and career planning while retaining distinct institutional emphases. Presenters will share insights from the design, implementation, and assessment of their programs to illustrate how institutions can strategically embed vocational development across the undergraduate experience.
