VOYAGE  -  Sophomore Series

Beginning the Process of Discovering Vocation

 

Sophomore year is the right time to begin your discovery process and identify elements of the vocation into which you are invited. Through interactive events, panel discussions, and opportunities to learn from juniors, seniors, and alumni, we invite you to set out on your vocational VOYAGE. Our goal is that your sophomore year will provide you with the clarity you need to step deeper into the story God is inviting you into. 

Whether it is discovering a great internship opportunity through our Internship Exploration event or celebrating your story alongside faculty, staff, and alumni at our Finale event, there are numerous opportunities for your Sophomore year to be a catalytic moment in the trajectory of your vocational exploration. 

Try not to miss a single event!

Hot Ones

Spicy sauce, hot takes!

Voyage 1 led us through discovering pieces of our own stories. Now it's time for Voyage 2: Hot Ones where you'll hear from faculty, staff, and a student leader about their calling and career journeys. This "Hot Ones" style panel event will feature Dr. Theon Hill, Athletics Director Mike Schauer, and Sophomore Class Co-President Karla Rocha responding to questions about their exploration of calling and career. The hot sauces get spicier as the questions get harder!

Join us for an evening of conversation and hot wings. Bring your curiosity and then stay to chat about your journey while snacking on hot wings.

Panel: 5:30-6:30pm
