Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Professional Development Week: Vocational Reflection: Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and YouJanuary 29, 2021 at 10–10:50 a.m.
Encouraging vocational reflection is one of the priorities in the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Acts strategic plan. At Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ the notion of vocation means more than profession, paid work, or personal passions. But what does the college’s comprehensive notion of vocation exactly mean? And what does vocation mean for you and your life? This workshop introduces the concept of vocation that informs Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and explores its significance for faculty, staff, and students of all backgrounds. Participants will hear comments from diverse students about the importance of vocational reflection for their lives, and they will have the opportunity to reflect on their own strengths, values, sense of purpose, and life journey. This session is led by Marcia Bunge, Religion Department and Bernhardson Distinguished Chair of Lutheran Studies.
