One of Cardoner's five goals is to enable faculty and staff to incarnate their developing understanding of the implications of vocation-as-calling in their work at Creighton.
Cardoner programs for faculty and staff are designed to
- Build Community by getting to know other employees at Creighton from a variety of fields and disciplines;
- Expand Knowledge by gaining a broader and deeper sense of the theological and spiritual aspects of vocation-as-calling;
- Foster Self-Reflection leading to further discernment and/or renewal of your commitments to your particular vocations; and
- Alter your Lived Experience by asking you to address vocation issues more deeply in your teaching, research, advising, patient care, and/or university work.
