Seton
Hall Awarded $2 Million Grant from Lilly Endowment Inc.
In
late November, Seton Hall was awarded a $2 million grant by Lilly
Endowment Inc. The grant will be used to establish a Center for
Vocation and Servant Leadership in order to develop new initiatives
that foster the links between faith and vocation throughout the
University community. Titled "IMPACTS"
(which stands for Inspiring, Motivating, Promoting A Call To Service),
the initiatives will explore, through a variety of programs and
opportunities, how the community can view their career choices as
callings to serve others, as well as how students might consider
whether they are called to Church ministry, in both ordained and
non-ordained vocations. Members of the University community are
continuing to play an integral role in the planning process which
began after Lilly, an Indianapolis-based foundation that supports
the causes of religion, education and community life, awarded the
University a $50,000 planning grant in July.
