The Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) is a nationwide campus-supported network to increase the capacity of independent colleges and universities to support undergraduate students as they explore and discern their many callings in life, and as they reflect on questions of meaning, purpose, and identity. Since its launch in 2009, NetVUE has grown rapidly to include nearly 350 institutions. All SBL and AAR participants are invited to join us for this reception, whether or not their institutions are members of the network.
Stop by for a chance to learn more about NetVUE (including faculty development and grant opportunities), to connect with friends and colleagues with similar interests, and to enjoy one another’s company. NetVUE is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) with support from member dues and the generosity of Lilly Endowment Inc.

Award-winning American composer Delvyn Case conducts the Deus Ex Musica Ensemble in a live performance of his dramatic new solo cantata based on Genesis 22. Daring to imagine alternative ending to this infamous story, this 25-minute piece explores the complex theological, narrative, and interpretive challenges of this infamous passage by highlighting how the thread of sacrificial violence tragically binds together Elohim, Abraham, Isaac, and Elohim – and, through its historical legacy – all of us as well. Sponsored by the Boston College Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, the performance will be followed by a panel discussion featuring an interfaith collection of scholars and clergy.
6:00-7:30pm on Saturday, November 22nd at Old South Church (645 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116)
