Our Lady of the Lake University proudly announces that Rev. Kelsey Penn, Director, Center for Service-Learning & Volunteerism, has been selected to participate in the 2025 Vocation Across Campus Seminar, hosted by the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE).
This prestigious seminar brings together a select group from across the country who are committed to advancing vocation-centered programming for undergraduate students. Through this yearlong initiative, Rev. Penn will explore innovative ways to help students reflect on questions of purpose, identity, and direction—both academically and personally.
The seminar is designed to support participants in developing or revising programs that promote vocational exploration across disciplines and campus contexts. Penn’s selection followed a highly competitive national application process, recognizing her commitment to enriching the student experience through holistic, values-driven education.
“This opportunity will allow me to deepen my work in helping students explore who they are called to become—inside and outside the classroom,” said Rev. Penn. “I’m honored to represent OLLU in this national community of educators.”
Penn’s involvement also strengthens OLLU’s connection to the broader NetVUE network, a nationwide community of more than 300 colleges and universities that share a mission of preparing students for lives of meaning, service, and leadership.
Please join us in congratulating Rev. Kelsey Penn on this well-deserved honor!
