Worthy Questions

Worthy Questions is a vocational and spiritual program for students that includes a mentoring component. Begun in January 2002, the program emerged as a result of Wooster’s initial grant proposal to the Lilly Endowment’s Program for the Theological Exploration of Vocation. “Questers,” as participants in the program are called, meet regularly as a full group and in smaller groups

“Questers” come from any and all areas of academic study. Current Questers represent all four classes; some are involved in local fraternities and sororities; others are International students, or athletes. Despite their varying interests and experiences, these students share a lively interest in the program’s themes, and, as a result of the program, they develop a more sophisticated approach to vocational discernment.

Brian Mahan, author of "Forgetting Ourselves on Purpose: Vocation and the Ethics of Ambition," was the guest speaker at the Worthy Questions retreat on January 17, 2004. Click here to read more about Brian Mahan and his book.
