VOCARÉ: A Retreat for Sophomores and Transfers
Find your calling at VOCARÉ
The word “vocaré” is derived from Latin, meaning “to call.”
We are back in-person for a Homecoming in honor of our 15th VOCARÉ.
In partnership with McNair, First to Go, Ignacio Student Support Services and the Academic Community of Excellence, VOCARÉ is a unique opportunity for LMU students to reflect on where they have been, who they are, and where they are going. This one-day, career discernment-focused program provides a reflective experience where participants can share, learn, and connect with LMU faculty, staff, alumni, and administrators. All sophomore and transfer students are welcome.

Cynthia Orduna, '19 | Participant and Leader"As a transfer student, VOCARÉ was one of the first events that made me feel part of the LMU community. I found it to be an amazing learning experience both as a participant and as a leader."

Major: Studio Arts with an emphasis in Multimedia“Initially I wanted to be a leader to ensure that VOCARÉ participants had an amazing experience like I did. I was not expecting to be so positively impacted by the retreat for a second time! Being a senior, I received beneficial and timely career advice and insights.”
