Exploring Your Vocation in
Christian Academic Institutions

A conference for undergraduate honors students from Lilly Network Schools
Hosted by Susan M. Felch and Kenneth Bratt, Calvin College

September 26-28, 2003
At the Yarrow Conference Center, Augusta, Michigan

Funded by the Lilly Fellows Program in the Humanities and the Arts

The Undergraduate Honors Conference for the Great Lakes Region is designed to encourage the best undergraduates at Lilly Network institutions to consider finding their vocations in church-related higher education, to provide an opportunity for honors students to establish friendships with future colleagues, to expand the boundaries of their own honors experiences, and to make inter-denominational and institutional connections. Two rising juniors or seniors from Lilly Schools in the Great Lakes Region are selected to participate in this event.

During the weekend students will talk with three experienced faculty members: Paul Contino, humanities professor at Pepperdine University, John Steven Paul, professor of theatre at Valparaiso University; and Laura Smit, professor of theology at Calvin College, each of whom will also make a presentation. A panel of graduate students and recent Ph.D.s will talk about the pleasures and perils of graduate school. There will also be free time to enjoy the recreational facilities at Yarrow.
