In an effort to better understand the impact and effectiveness of its mission, the Lumen Christi Institute conducted a comprehensive study on the career paths of alumni from its PhD summer seminars held between 2011 and 2019. Tracking a total of 330 alumni, the results highlight the lasting influence of the summer seminar programs. Notably, 60.3% (199 alumni) have gone on to teach as faculty at universities, underscoring the Institute’s commitment to educating and inspiring the next generation of academic leaders. Additionally, 7.6% of alumni have pursued religious life or become clergy, with 14 individuals embracing this vocation after attending the seminar. The study also tracked alumni who entered various professional fields, university administration, postdoctoral research, and other vocations. The Lumen Christi Institute celebrates the diverse paths of its alumni and invites all former participants to reconnect and share their stories.
