A lot of emphasis is put into giving student leaders the tool that they will need to be a successful leader.  Therefore, each semester is started off with a leadership retreat.  The Fall leadership retreat is for any student interested in sharpening their leadership skills as well as meeting other campus leaders.  While the Spring retreat is solely for student organization officers or committee chairs.
