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 shared as part of the enrollment process. Joining the Mission Ambassador community begins with simple dialogue with a member of DMM’s Faculty and Staff Engagement team. Prospective Mission Ambassadors will then:
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 a "Sustaining the Mission" program (offered 2-3 times annually) an introductory program for Mission Ambassadors focused on mission integration – that is, the application of DePaul’s Vincentian mission to day-to-day life and work at DePaul and to understanding oneself as a leader for mission
3. After completing your statement of intent, you will be contacted by a DMM FASE staff member to clarify 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.
