Emerging Leader's Retreat

February 1-2, 2008

A Leadership Experience for First and Second-Year Students

The Emerging Leaders Retreat brings together a small group (25) of first and second-year students who are looking to develop their leadership skills through an intense, hands-on experience.  It was created as a way to

cultivate student leaders on campus and will be facilitated by seasoned student leaders as well as members of the Student Affairs staff. Participants

are selected through an application process.

 

 

What’s in it for me?

Whether you intend to become more involved in activities on campus, or you simply would like to develop leadership skills for the future, this program is an excellent "first step". You’ll do some cool activities, meet other students interested in leadership and have a great time. The feedback we’ve gotten from student these last three years has been great. Many of those people went on to become SOS Leader, RA’s and CA’s. If you are selected, you’re only committing a little more then 24 hours of your time, so what do you have to lose? Come on…apply.

 

How will the 25 participants be selected? Since we can only take 25 people, we have a simple application process to select that group. It is limited to first-year and sophomore students. We hope that after the experience, these students will seek out various leadership opportunities across the campus in the next couple of years. The application consists of 4 questions. We would like to know why you’re interested in participating and what you hope to get out of it.

"With that I never got the chance to tell you that the retreat was wonderful. I learn a lot about being a leader. And I just want to thanks you all the other staffs for allowing me to have this great experience."

--Pa Kong Lee

 

"The Retreat was probably the best thing to happen to me at Hamline. I was seriously considering Hamline was the wrong place for me before the retreat. Wow, look where I have gone. I got involved with student congress, the yearbook, the orientation program, residential life, student alumni board and many other things."

--Michael Abata

 

"I have to say that this was the experience that changed Hamline for me! The retreat created the connections and relationships that I have used in every area since. This experience was exactly what I needed to solidify that I belonged at Hamline."

--Ashley Bystrom
