About

Launched in 2013 as part of the NetVUE Scholarly Resources Project, Vocation Matters is a public service of the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE), which is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges with generous support from Lilly Endowment Inc. Many posts have been authored by scholars who contributed essays to the first three volumes of the Scholarly Resources Project, published by Oxford University Press: At This Time and In This Place: Vocation and Higher Education (2016); Vocation across the Academy: A New Vocabulary for Higher Education (2017); and Hearing Vocation Differently: Meaning, Purpose, and Identity in the Multi-Faith Academy (2019). Other contributors include faculty and staff members involved in vocation-related teaching, co-curricular projects, or other programming at NetVUE’s member institutions. We hope that you will visit this site often—and that you will read, consider, and comment as part of the larger conversation on vocation in higher education. Vocation Matters was previously edited by Hannah Schell (January 2018 – May 2022) and is currently edited by Stephanie Johnson, who can be contacted at sjohnson@cic.edu.
