This two-day program is designed to serve the needs of developing student leaders. The guiding mission of the retreat is the belief that student leaders can be more effective in their positions and personal lives by honing their leadership skills and by developing support networks with other campus leaders. This program incorporates a low ropes course and teambuilding activities. Student leaders from across campus discover their leadership style, explore multi-culturalism, and problem solve with one another. With the networking opportunities available, we encourage all student organizations to send their representatives.

Past Student Leadership Retreat Participants commented:

"Great job! I loved being a part of this."

"I like the fact that everybody had no problem working as a team with such a diverse group."

"I liked being able to work with people from other organizations that you might not usually work with and how we did things to work together and break stereotypes."

"The most significant part of the retreat was realizing through the walk across the room activity (Values session) the things that many leaders experienced in their lives."

"The session I personally value the most is the one about values and expressing yourself. It really helped you relate to people and I think helped many people individually see they’re not alone."

"The values activity allowed me to be a part of so many “groups” and feel more like I belong."

"I learned about my specific leadership style and its strengths and weaknesses."

"Low ropes course!"
