Each chapter includes study/discussion questions and begins and ends with a traditional Catholic prayer.

Against the backdrop of the current national conversation about the purposes of higher education, it argues that the undergraduate years can provide a certain amount of relatively unfettered time, and a 'free and ordered space', in which students can consider their callings.
