Center for Faith and Vocation

Workshop Overview ~ Faith and Vocation of Education

Faculty-Staff WorkshopsProfessors and staff at Butler are dedicated to helping students learn how to lead lives of purpose and meaning. The center's workshop on faith and vocation helps these men and women understand their own unique vocations in education and also become better advisors and mentors to their students.

During a series of retreats and dinner conversations, a group of 10 professors and staff gather at the Blue House to reflect on their own professional and vocational journeys; to learn about religious diversity on our campus and in the world and to become stronger advisors and mentors to Butler students and each other.

The application process for this annual program begins in February. Those interested in participating must submit a 300- to 400-word essay about their work at Butler and how they believe the workshop will strengthen their interaction with students and support their commitment to education. Full program details are available. Each year we strive to have participants represent a diversity of colleges, departments and religious perspectives. If you have any questions contact CFV director, Judith Cebula.
