We are pleased to share that Hamline University has joined the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE)—a nationwide consortium administered by the Council of Independent Colleges and generously supported by Lilly Endowment, Inc.
Our participation in NetVUE underscores Hamline’s ongoing commitment to supporting students as they explore their many callings in life. Through an interdisciplinary lens—drawing from theology, philosophy, ethics, and history—we aim to deepen vocational reflection and empower students to discern purpose in their personal and professional journeys.
As a NetVUE member institution, Hamline joins a vibrant community of independent colleges and universities united by the belief that vocation is central to undergraduate education. This work will span multiple areas of campus life, engaging academic advising, career development, and spiritual life in a collaborative effort to create a robust network of support for our students.
NetVUE’s guiding principle of subsidiarity ensures that each institution defines vocation in ways that reflect its unique mission and student body. At Hamline, this partnership will strengthen our mission to prepare students for lives of leadership, scholarship, and service.
Stay tuned for more details about how this initiative will take shape on our campus, including opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to engage with NetVUE resources and programs. Chaplain Kelly Figueroa-Ray is Hamline’s main contact.
