Vocation Events

The Vocation Implementation Team encourages  faculty and staff to engage in their own vocational discernment, empowering them to experience the benefits of vocational reflection and integrate that reflection in their own lives and in their engagement with students.   

  1. The VIT's retreats subcommittee plans and facilitates a series of workshops and retreats each semester to promote this engagement for faculty and staff. These retreats encourage participants to reflect on and share their callings as educators, explore connections between their callings and the work they do at UD and identify strategies for living their callings more fully.  
  2. Faculty and staff are invited to attend interactive workshops illuminating UD's institutional learning goal of Vocation. All materials for these sessions are covered by a grant from the National Council of Independent Colleges and Lilly Endowment, Inc.

Institutional Learning Goals

The seven institutional learning goals are the hallmark of our undergraduate education. Students’ learning around each of these seven ILGs is pursued through different structures and activities, such as coursework in their majors, the Common Academic Program, co-curricular programming, and learning experiences outside the formal curriculum.
