Any faculty or staff member with a clear interest and history of engagement with DePaul’s Vincentian mission may become a Mission Ambassador. Candidates’ previous participation, learning and contributions to the DePaul community related to the program pillars are considered in the enrollment process. Joining the Mission Ambassador community begins with dialogue with a member of DMM’s Faculty and Staff Engagement team. Those seeking to work towards Mission Ambassador recognition should:
1. Complete a statement of intent to participate and work towards recognition as a Mission Ambassador, which will consist of describing one’s interest in the program and example of past Vincentian learning and mission engagement in some of the following areas:
(a) Vincentian History and Heritage;
(b) Service, Social Justice, and Systemic Change;
(c) Spirituality and Purpose;
(d) Commitment to the DePaul Community.
2. Participate in Sustaining the Mission, the required introductory program for Mission Ambassadors focused on mission integration – that is, application of DePaul’s Vincentian mission to day to day life and work at DePaul.
3. After completing your statement of intent, you will be contacted by a DMM FASE staff member to arrange for an individual conversation to discuss your hopes and goals for participation in the program.
4. Plan to participate in quarterly Mission Ambassador meetings.
Contact a member of DMM’s Faculty and Staff Engagement team with any further questions.
