A group of Lindsey Wilson University faculty and staff members met on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, to discuss ways the university can better help its undergraduate students discover their vocation. The initiative, which is funded by a Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education grant, will be developed during the 2026-27 school year with the hope that it will lead to programming that can be utilized across the university.
