Alumni Discernment Cohorts

VDS Alumni Discernment Cohorts offer our recent graduates the opportunity to continue the discernment process as they navigate their vocational lives as scholars, prophets, and leaders in the crucial years following graduation.  Led by Dr. Nathan Cost, cohorts gather once per month to engage in guided discussions, learn helpful practices for vocational discernment, and develop a deeper network of peers that can sustain our graduates long into the future.

New cohorts are offered each Fall and Spring for the length of the semester.  Any VDS alumni within 3 years of graduation can join, with separate in-person and virtual groups offered.
