Students from all disciplines are encouraged to attend a two-part vocational discernment workshop on Monday, Feb. 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. in Hoover 103. You are welcome to attend either session independently, even if you are unable to attend both.

Workshop schedule:

• Part One (2 to 3 p.m.): “Finding Purpose and Meaning.” We will explore how your specific area of study and personal passions intersect with global justice issues. You will begin mapping out resources available in your discipline and sketching a personal roadmap toward action.
• Part Two (3 to 4 p.m.): “Stewarding Your Story.” Using a process informed by neuroscience, you will engage in personal story-crafting. This session helps you integrate your “action roadmap” with your past, present, and future story.

This event is being hosted by the university’s Center for Peace and Justice.

Note: Chapel credit is available for each session.
