Vocational Exploration
What gives you joy? What are you passionate about? What are you good at and where is there a need for these things to be done? Where do you turn to find support and meaning? What ideals are worth giving yourself to? How do you translate self-discovery into concrete life decisions? Where is God or Spirit moving in your exploration of vocation?
At the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, we encourage the active exploration of these questions through many programs and events, including our engagement with the Lilly Project for Vocation and Ethical Leadership, our offerings of spiritual direction, pre-seminary and vocational conversations and our continued collaborative work with the Civic Engagement Center at Macalester College.
Lives of Commitment
The Lives of Commitment Program engages a select group of first-year students in intentional reflection on issues of social justice, ethical and religious commitments, and the integration of values with work.

Lilly Summer Fellows Program
The Lilly Project provides two summer options for students to explore how they will serve their ethical and/or religious commitments in a complex world. One of the experiences focuses on academic research and the second allows students to complete paid summer internships in the Twin Cities. Students will choose their own internship sites, with the will exception of a placement at Westminster Presbyterian Church for a student interested in exploring ministry.
