November 17, 2025

Heather Brady, Professor of Liberal Arts at Grand View University, has been selected to receive a prestigious NetVUE Grant to Individuals for Vocational Exploration. She joins a distinguished group of faculty and staff from NetVUE member institutions whose work will advance the study of vocation in undergraduate education.

The $12,160 grant will support Dr. Brady’s project focused on advancing scholarship and teaching related to vocation in undergraduate education. Through this work, she will explore new approaches to helping students reflect on purpose, calling, and career pathways, contributing to a growing body of national scholarship on vocational exploration. Her project will further strengthen Grand View’s commitment to supporting students as they navigate questions of identity, direction, and meaning during their college experience.

These awards are made possible by a generous grant to the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) from Lilly Endowment Inc.
