About VEI

For students interested in discovering purposeful careers and lives, the Vocation Exploration Initiative at Bloomsburg University (VEI) offers discernment tools, space for reflection, motivational events, and pastoral support for taking concrete next steps in that journey.

VEI is a program of Protestant Campus Ministry at Bloomsburg University (PCM) and has been generously funded by the Lilly Endowment, Inc.  Our campus partners include the Center for Leadership and Engagement and the Zeigler Institute for Professional Development (ZIPD), and BU Health and Wellness.

  1. To engage Bloomsburg University in vocational reflection with questions of purpose and integrity that go beyond career preparation.
