The Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) is a nationwide campus-supported network. Its purpose is to increase the capacity of independent colleges and universities (and their faculty members and staff) to support undergraduate students as they explore and discern their many callings in life, and as they reflect on questions of meaning, purpose, and identity. Since its launch in 2009, NetVUE has grown rapidly to include over 300 institutions. All SBL and AAR participants are invited to join us for this reception, whether or not their institutions are members of the network. Stop by for a chance to learn more about NetVUE (including faculty development and grant opportunities), to connect with friends and colleagues with similar interests, and to enjoy one another’s company. NetVUE is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) with support from member dues and the generosity of Lilly Endowment Inc.
