CONNECT is a 3-day leadership retreat where carefully selected
Student Organization Leaders begin to define and identify what it
will take to recognize their individual potential within their
Organizations. Through leadership development activities, teambuilding exercises, leadership style assessments, networking,
collaborative activities and more, participants begin to learn and
practice the skills and concepts needed to be the best leader that
they can be. For many, CONNECT is the launching point and
catalyst for their future success.
Participants will focus on a different aspect of leadership through
exercises, discussions, presenters and observing current events.
Topics include, but are not limited to: defining leadership,
personality assessment, team building and communication,
campus climate and campus responsibility, management best
practices, and building and working on interpersonal relationships.
CONNECT has limited space so a brief application is required and
are now available here . Applications are due September 25th.
If you have any questions, please contact Katherine Curley.
