Students of Color Retreat

The Students of Color Retreat is an opportunity for students to step away from their daily routines, connect with one another, and build a sense of community. Through engaging activities, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences, students can strengthen relationships, reflect on their personal and academic journeys, and learn from one another.

Whether you're looking to meet new people, grow as a leader, or simply spend time with fellow students in a supportive environment, the retreat offers a space to connect, recharge, and build lasting memories.

The retreat also encourages students to explore their strengths, share their experiences, and gain valuable tools for success both in and out of the classroom. By fostering connection, belonging, and personal growth, the Students of Color Retreat helps create a stronger and more supportive campus community for all.
