Callings
Discover Who You Are Called to Be
The Callings Program is a summer program Campus Ministry offers for incoming first-year students, who are looking to learn how to become engaged leaders on the University of Dayton’s campus. Using the Marianist charism as a guide, participants will explore their faith and vocation as a student while learning about the four principles of learn, lead, serve and pray.
“Callings was a great opportunity to meet and grow close to so many new people and start to understand my vocation as a student here at Dayton!”
