The Honors Capstone @ Ferrum College

For most Americans, work is a part of their identity and their system of values. The novelist and theologian Frederick Buechner describes vocation as "the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." The honors capstone seminar provides an opportunity for Boone Honors students nearing the end of their undergraduate careers to explore the connections between values and vocation in the context of American culture and work, to consider alternative values and connections in other cultural contexts, and to contemplate the values and connections in their own lives, especially with regard to their own professional plans.
