Living Your Legacy Leadership Retreat

Jan. 21-23, 2011 in Orvis

The first-ever campus-wide leadership retreat is open to any ASC student interested in learning more about what it means to lead, how to build their leadership capacity, and how to actively live out their legacy as a student leader.

Workshop sessions will be facilitated by campus and community leaders, including a keynote session by Coach Herman Boone, whose real-life legacy and leadership inspired the film, Remember the Titans.

Tracks will include:

The retreat is a track-based experience, to focus sessions around students’ interests and experiences.

  • Exploring Leadership: Focused on the foundations of leadership, what it means to lead, and opportunities to get involved on campus. Recommended for incoming students and emerging leaders looking for ways to get more involved.
  • Expanding Leadership: Centered around the skills, experiences, and capacities leaders need, including awareness of self and others, balancing commitments, accountability, and communication. Recommended for student staff: Resident Assistants and Orientation Leaders, as well as campus leaders: Student Senate, student organization, and academic club representatives.
  • Leadership in Action: Based on issues of interaction, collaboration, and group or team dynamics. Recommended for athletes, fraternities and sororities in the Greek community, and any other groups interested in focusing on the challenges of inter-group leadership.

The goal of this retreat is to:

  • Bring students from across campus together to identify shared values and develop a unified ASC student leadership identity.
  • Develop strategies for cross-campus collaboration among student leaders.
  • Build students’ capacity for effective conflict resolution.
  • Inspire students to be aware of the impact their actions have, realize their passions, and wholeheartedly commit to their causes.
