The Lilly Center for Vocation and Values was born from a major grant to Catawba College from the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
In 2003, Catawba College became one of 39 colleges and universities nationwide to receive a major grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. With funds from that grant, Catawba College founded the Lilly Center for Vocation and Values. Director of the Lilly Center is Dr. Kenneth Clapp who also serves as Chaplain of the College.
In 2006, Catawba College received a renewal grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. This sustainability grant will allow The Lilly Center at Catawba College, along with 30 other insititutions, to promote programs that have helped participants, especially students, discover and use their gifts in ways that serve others. The funds will also help in continuing to make a special focus by encouraging students to consider how they can make a real difference in today's world through the Christian ministry.

PROFILES
"The Lilly Center helped me realize that I don't have to carry a big title in order to make a difference in people's lives. The Lilly Center provided lots of opportunity for self-exploration and helped me find my own best path." 
"I've been able to take what I've learned in my classes and apply it directly to my life and my faith. I'm much more sure of the direction I want my life to take. I have a better understanding of the type of person I want to be, not just in my career but in my community." 
"Participating in the Lilly Center's Freshman Retreat changed how I viewed my
role as a member of Catawba College's staff. It was a fantastic experience. I learned that I could have a positive influence on students and make a difference."
