Vocation of a Lutheran College: July 22-24

The 19th annual Vocation of a Lutheran College Conference will convene again at Augsburg from Monday, July 22 - Wednesday, July 24. The conference will begin with dinner at 5 p.m. on July 22 and conclude by 1:30 p.m. on July 24. The theme is "Vocation: A Challenge to the Commodification of Education."

As you may know, the ELCA sponsors teams of up to five faculty and staff from each of the ELCA Colleges to attend this annual gathering. Each year this conference brings together our Lutheran college colleagues to explore the distinctive roles we play in higher education. As was true for the last four years, one of the benefits of being the host site is that we have the option of inviting more than five people to attend.
