2027 NetVUE Summer Seminar: Vocation Across Campus

The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) is pleased to continue offering a summer seminar for full-time staff in all campus offices and divisions at colleges and universities that are members of CIC's Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE). 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. The 5-day seminar will take place June 21--25, 2027. 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. It focuses on reflecting on personal vocational journeys, exploring language and frameworks for vocation, and designing new or revised programming and initiatives for students incorporating vocational exploration and discernment. Discussions will also cover understanding emerging adults and how social, cultural, and institutional dynamics affect vocational exploration.
