"A Sense of Vocation" was a multi-year program 2002-2011 through the generosity of the Lilly Endowment's "Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation." The gifts supported wide-ranging campus initiatives that integrated the concept of vocation more fully into the intellectual and residential life of the college. Portions of the program have now been integrated into departments across campus including College Ministries, the Center for Ethics and Public Life and the Dean's Office.

The Program currently includes the following features: 

• Vocation Visitors
• Luther College as a Community of Faith and Learning Workshop
  
• Faculty Advising Workshop
• t.r.e.c (time to reflect and explore call) and seminary visits
  
• WIYLDE (Wholly Iowa Youth Leadership Discipling Event)
• "Sense of Vocation" Collection, Preus Library
