On Monday, August 25, Virtues & Vocations kicked off our 2025-2026 monthly webinar series with an exploration of how competence, character, and calling contribute to meaningful work and the common good. We heard from two contributors to the latest issue of the Virtues & Vocations magazine, which launched the same day — Chris Higgins, Chair of the Department of Formative Education at Boston College and Guru Madhavan, Norman R. Augustine Senior Scholar and Senior Director of Programs, U.S. National Academy of Engineering.
