(Pre-registration required)
This pre-conference workshop explores the various roles that faculty members play in cultivating greater attention to vocation and calling on their campuses. The workshop will equip participants to integrate vocation into the curriculum, student programming, and professional development; pedagogical strategies will be shared throughout each session. The workshop covers a variety of topics relevant to vocational exploration: teaching vocational exploration, both in the disciplines and in general education; developing campus institutes, programs, and centers; and creating modules for small and large groups across campus. Participants will leave with various resources, methods, and models for their own contexts.
