University of Wisconsin - Stout

Leadership Retreat: October 12-13, 2007
Camp St. Croix, Hudson, WI

Student Support Services – ASPIRE, has initiated a student advocacy and programming team involving 16-18 students who are active in our programs and activities. The primary objective of this initiative is to involve our most academically and organizationally successful students in a leadership capacity with other students in our program. The purpose of the retreat is to engage students in a substantive team-building and leadership training experience to prepare them for their roles as advocates for our program and leaders in campus life now and in the future.

Itinerary (No cost to the students.  All meals, cabin and experiences are free!)

We are excited about the upcoming Leadership Retreat at St. Croix Camp in Hudson, WI on Friday and Saturday (October 12-13, 2007) sponsored by ASPIRE.  We still have room for four-five students (if you know of anyone interested, please encourage them to e-mail me, Andrew Cseter csetera@uwstout.edu) and I get  them up to speed.  Whether you are a seasoned leader, not sure what kind of a leader you are or can be, or just looking for a chance to develop personally and to develop a network of other students – this will be a great time for all!
