Major Speakers

A Major Speaker will be invited to campus twice during the five-year grant period to give a stronger and wider hearing to the vocational discussion on Wooster's campus and introduce the Lilly Project to the campus and local community. The Director will identify and invite to Wooster's campus an international leader who will speak about his or her own exploration of call. By bringing a well-known individual to campus whose life demonstrates high commitment to his or her calling, the College will provide an experience that will be accessible to a large audience. In addition, the address will not be an isolated event. The speaker will also meet with smaller groups of students, employees or members of the community who share similar interests in order to engage these persons in discussions about the theological dimensions of vocation. Discussion groups or in-class follow-up will provide additional opportunities for guided reflection and application. The first speaker will be invited to the College in the fall of 2003. The second speaker will be invited to the College in fall of 2006.
