IMPACT
The IMPACT Freshmen Leadership Retreat is a three-day retreat for first year incoming
students. Student involvement in college is a prime indicator of success while on
campus and into one’s career. Leadership is developed in many ways, including membership
and holding positions in organizations, volunteerism and formal leadership programs.
Impact is attempting to combine all of these aspects into one central focus.
The Office of Student Activities is kicking off a comprehensive leadership program with the Impact Retreat. The retreat provides students with an opportunity to meet nearly 200 other incoming students, 30 upper class students, faculty and staff. During the retreat students will participate in team building activities, information sessions, special presentations, ice breakers, flour wars and become acclimated to UCM. We hope you will join us!
