Dr. Christine Beech, director of the Kabara Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies and assistant professor of Business, has been selected to participate in the 2019 seminar on Teaching Vocational Exploration offered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC).
The annual multidisciplinary seminar is for full-time faculty members in all fields at colleges and universities that are members of the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE). According to the CIC website, the seminar aims to “strengthen the teaching of vocational exploration by probing a variety of understandings of vocation and their importance in educating undergraduates, by developing new courses or course materials or redesigning existing courses, and by establishing a broader network of faculty members committed to teaching vocational exploration.”
The 2019 seminar will be held at Techny Towers Conference and Retreat Center just north of Chicago, Ill., June 17-21, 2019. Housing, seminar materials, meals, and a travel stipend will be covered by CIC thanks to the generous support of Lilly Endowment Inc.
