What Is Your Vocation?

A Panel Discussion

Thursday, 26 Jan 2017 at 6:30 pm – 2019 Morrill Hall

Vo-ca-tion: A summons or strong inclination to a particular state or course of action. What is your vocation? How do you see yourself as an agent of goodness, truth, and beauty in the world, using your skills and passions for bringing about human flourishing? Join us for a panel discussion with three individuals who are working out their vocations for the common good: Ethan Brue, engineering professor and former R&D engineering leader for DuPont; Mark Osler, former federal prosecutor, legal scholar, and professor at St. Thomas Law School; and Jenny Jessup, mobilization specialist for English Language Institute-China.

Cosponsored By:
  • Areopagus Student Fellowship
  • InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
  • Committee on Lectures (funded by Student Government)

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.

Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.

Lecture Etiquette

  • Stay for the entire lecture and the brief audience Q&A. If a student needs to leave early, he or she should sit near the back and exit discreetly.
  • Do not bring food or uncovered drinks into the lecture.
  • Check with Lectures staff before taking photographs or recording any portion of the event. There are often restrictions. Cell phones, tablets and laptops may be used to take notes or for class assignments.
  • Keep questions or comments brief and concise to allow as many as possible.
