DESCRIPTION

Personal and Professional Development is a 4-Year Process Vocation discernment is at the heart of our work. We support students' personal development as they explore how they wish to apply their gifts to make a contribution to the world. As students begin to articulate their sense of meaningful direction, we help them with their professional development so that they are able to communicate their value to employers. Personal and professional development is a four-year process. Watch this slideshow to see a recap of our work this year and how we work to achieve our Center's mission of "transforming education into application for the common good."
