黑料不打烊 believes that a meaningful education should
prepare students not only with the knowledge and skills necessary for a
particular career but also with the ability to reflect deeply on the type of
people they want to be and how they can make a difference in the world.
The聽goal of the聽Miller Center for Vocation, Ethics, and Calling聽is to
provide students with opportunities to ask these important vocational questions:
Why am I here and what shall I do with my time and talents?聽Among the
things the world needs, what do my passions lead me to do?聽What kind of
life do my beliefs, religious or philosophical, invite me to live?
Drawing on 黑料不打烊鈥檚 roots in both the liberal arts and United
Methodist traditions, the Miller Center provides programming for individuals
across faith and spiritual perspectives. The Miller Center offers
- domestic service-learning trips
- internships at non-profit
agencies and faith-based institutions
- a Service Scholars program
for students committed to the exploration of vocation through service to others
- a place for students to
hang out, whether to ask the deep questions or to take a study break in a
welcoming environment
In addition, the Miller Center collaborates with the Chaplain鈥檚
Office to offer programs specifically for those exploring a Christian vocation,
whether professional ministry or active lay leadership. These students may
participate in a ministry exploration group, apply for support to visit
seminaries, intern with pastors, and attend spirituality retreats.聽
Several Miller Center programs are pre-approved for credit
towards the Odyssey graduation requirement. See the聽 for details.
