The Advising
for Vocation Task Force invites you to a workshop designed to
provide advisors with a toolbox of innovative strategies for
meaningful interaction with students. Based on research into other
programs, faculty surveys, exemplary advisor interviews, and
students' own stories, we have gathered the highlights and
determined best practices in advising for vocation. You'll learn how
to advise more efficiently, holistically, and effectively as you
attend to the developmental stages of young adult life. You'll be
inspired to
- encourage
students to explore and discover their passions, interests, and
dreams
- help
students connect their passion, interests, and dreams to the
needs of the world
- take an
active interest in the unique individuality of each student
- create an
atmosphere of hospitality for students entering the adult world
- allow for
deep reflection on coping with shipwreck, fear, and cynicism
- bridge the
generation gap to achieve a spirit of intergenerational
community
Participants
will be provided with reading materials in advance. The workshop
will feature thought-provoking speakers, lively discussion sessions,
and hands-on activities that will help you make the most of the time
and energy you spend on advising. This workshop is one of the first
initiatives of the Lilly Endowment, Inc.-sponsored Institute for
Faith and Public Life. Faculty participants will receive a stipend
of $400 for this two-day workshop. |
