Hendrix-Lilly Vocations Initiative Travel Scholarship

The Hendrix-Lilly Vocations Initiative is hosting a conference for undergraduates and providing travel scholarships for two students from each college with a PTEV program.  This year's conference is "Vocation and Film" and will be held at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas February 15th - 16th, 2008. 

During the conference, students will have the opportunity to view three documentaries about faith communities and their actions in the world, meet the producers of each documentary and talk with them about their sense of vocation as film-makers, and to explore through lectures, panel discussions, and small group sessions the meaning which these doumentaries carry for our lives and callings today.  The three documentaries and their producers are: Jesus Camp by Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing; Power of Forgiveness by Martin Doblemeier; Homestretch by Sheri Bylander.
