Writing is a powerful tool for vocational discernment. In this session, presenters will share how a program at Saint Louis University supports students in discovering their calling longitudinally through a series of core classes, culminating in a retreat as they prepare to apply to professional schools. This approach is grounded in the institution’s Jesuit mission, utilizing NetVUE resources, meaningful transformative engagement, and structured writing. This serves as a critical tool for self-reflection and for the exploration of one’s passions, core values, and motivation. This presentation will share successes and challenges, as well as tool and approaches that can be adapted by other institutions.
