"Gretchen attended the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) Conference in Kansas City, MO to explore the ways colleges and universities can support everyone – faculty, administrators, staff and students to explore and discern their call or vocation. A highlight of the conference was plenary speaker the Reverend Doctor Almeda M. Wright who spoke about her book, Teaching to Live: Black Religion, Activist-Educators and Radical Social Change and about reclaiming the sometimes-revolutionary calling to teach and lead. You can learn more about her book, or watch her brilliant address through the links below:"
