With students, our aim is twofold: to
guide and inform those who are leaning toward a
theological vocation, while helping those who
enter non-clergy careers do so with a heightened
sense of divine calling. Through course
programming, career advising, and co-curricular
activities, students learn to identify their
charisms - their unique gifts from God - and
discover what it is they have been called to
become.
Curriculum
The exploration of calling begins in freshman
seminar, when students are asked:
- How am I God's workmanship, created in Jesus
Christ?
- What good works has God prepared in advance for
me to do?
- How can I use my vocation to serve God?
The dialogue continues throughout the four years
at Lee, intersecting with Lee's Leonard Center for
Christian Service, and culminating with the senior
capstone course, where students are asked to reflect
on their majors and their calling.
Center for
Calling & Career
This Center provides self-assessment tools,
career counseling, and general information to
students interested in exploring vocational options.
Using a strengths-based approach, the CC&C also
advises faculty and staff on how to talk about
vocation with their students.
