In his announcement of Dr. Hunnicutt’s appointment, Richard Ekman, CIC President, wrote “Lynn has been deeply involved in conversations about vocational reflection and discernment since 2005, having served as the founding director of Pacific Lutheran’s Wild Hope Center for Vocation. She also has served as a campus consultant for NetVUE and as co-chair of the Vocation of a Lutheran College conference. Her academic research examines how the discipline of economics addresses questions of calling and purpose. Lynn is currently helping to develop a book of essays on the role of vocation in various academic disciplines, with contributions from a diverse groups of PLU faculty members.”
