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 retreat provides students with an opportunity to meet nearly 200 other incoming
students, 32 upper class students, faculty and staff. During the retreat students
will participate in team building activities, information sessions, special presentations,
ice breakers, flour war and become acclimated to UCM. We hope you will join us!
You will meet students that are like you, interested in becoming a leader or building on leadership skills attained in high school. In addition, you will meet current students who have become leaders in many different ways. They will be available to answer questions and to get to know you. Also, there will be current faculty and staff members there to offer you any support necessary and to get to know you.
Your $90 fee will cover everything, including: your lodging for the duration of the retreat, a t-shirt, meals, park fees and any other costs associate with the retreat. The cost of the retreat can be charged to your student account or a check can be mailed to: Office of Student Activities, IMPACT, Union 217, Warrensburg, MO 64093.
The retreat is held on the University of Central Missouri Campus on July 25-27, 2018. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday and check-out will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
