Opportunities

CIC is pleased to offer a multidisciplinary seminar, Teaching Vocational Exploration, for full-time faculty members in all fields at colleges and universities that are members of the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE). The seminar is designed for early- to mid-career faculty members at the rank of assistant or associate professor or the equivalent.

This seminar, Enhancing Vocational Exploration, is designed to bring together a small group of educators who seek to contribute to the growing national conversation about vocation and calling. The participants in this seminar will bring to the table their experiences with vocation on their own campuses, whether in teaching, research, writing, service, or inter-office cooperation. Any member of the staff or faculty at a NetVUE member institution is eligible to be nominated for the seminar. The nomination deadline for this seminar is September 26, 2025.

The Institutional Leadership for Vocation seminar is designed to bring together a group of current leaders who are eager to explore how vocational exploration and discernment can play a greater role across campus, particularly in the work that these leaders do with members of the faculty and staff, but also in curricular and co-curricular programming for students. Participants in this seminar will have the opportunity to reflect on their vocational path into leadership and how that informs the way they seek to continue to lead. The deadline for nominations is November 21, 2025.

Vocation Across Campus: Supporting Students’ Search for Meaning is designed for staff who direct campus programs or serve in other long-term administrative capacities, but who do not also hold faculty appointments. Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about vocation and its importance for undergraduate students, to develop or revise programming or initiatives to support vocational exploration, and to cultivate a broader network of colleagues committed to supporting students’ work in this area. The nomination deadline for this seminar is November 21, 2025.
