CVR Mission Statement

"The Center for Vocational Reflection challenges and equips students, faculty, and staff to more intentionally reflect on their vocations—their callings to live out their distinctive gifts, passions, and senses of faith and meaning in ways that benefit their communities and help to address the world's deep needs."

"The purpose of a Gustavus education is to help its students attain their full potential as persons, to develop in them a capacity and passion for lifelong learning, and to prepare them for fulfilling lives of leadership and service in society."
—from the College's Mission Statement

Center for Vocational Reflection

Welcome to the Center for Vocational Reflection. Our purpose is to encourage you to take a real look at the person you are and the gifts you possess, so you can find that way of life that matters-- a life that's true to who you are, but about more than yourself.

We're here to help you sort through the voices that tell you who to be, to listen to your own voice and learn to trust it. You can shape a life that blends your skills with the things you care about and the needs of the people around you. We are here to help you make your life count.
