After accepting the invitation Cheely explained, "People my age just out of college are really struggling with career choices and life decisions—we're overwhelmed with options and terrified of blowing it. I hope that one of the things this conversation can communicate to students is that putting one's spiritual life first actually makes your life and career choices more exciting, not less. I am thrilled to be working with Pathways again."

The SKS recently worked with the Duke Chapel Pathways Program to sponsor the Finding Your Own Path lecture series. The five-part series gained media coverage that drew hundreds of audience members from Duke and the larger community. This discussion is a great follow up to the success of the lecture series. As a recent college graduate and past audience member of the lecture series, Nicole Collins said, "I am hungry for purpose and meaning in my life and so are many of my peers. But once you get out of college and career choices are in front of you it's hard to see where these things can fit. These speakers have experience and have allowed purpose and meaning to drive their careers. I want to know how they did it."

Other panelist include: Madison Keith Daniel of the Duke Divinity School; Craig Kocher, Assistant Dean of the Duke Chapel and Director of Religious Life for Duke University; John R. Means, Assistant Superintendent at Skanska and active volunteer with Engineering Ministries International; and Julie Norman of the Kenan Institute for Ethics. John Hawkins, the President and Founder of Leadership Edge Inc., will serve as the moderator.

Reverend Regina Henderson is Director of the sponsoring Pathways Program and has a reputation for organizing popular events that highlight how spiritual and career aspects of life can connect. The Pathways program nurtures and equips undergraduate students who seek to serve as leaders of congregations or other religious institutions that are engaged in ongoing service to humanity. It assists students in understanding their future work in light of their faith commitments while bringing faith into vocation, culture into communities, theological reflection into academia and worship into everyday living.
