Vocational Networking

Discover and live out your unique call

 

The Office of Vocational Networking exists to support students as they discover and live out their vocation. Our goal is that by the time you graduate from Garrett-Evangelical, you feel that you have the resources and the support to thrive in the unique ministry to which God has called you.

Mentoring Program

All incoming students have the opportunity to be paired with a Garrett alum who has shared vocational interests and gifts. This alum will be your partner in vocational discernment and development throughout your degree program.
