Social Justice Leadership Retreat
What: The SJLR focuses on developing and fostering diversity and social justice leaders committed to improving the campus climate for all students and working towards a more just society. The 3 day retreat takes 56 students along with 18 facilitators away from campus to explore issues of identity, oppression, and how to make an impact on campus and in the community after the retreat. Over 450 students have attended our retreats over the last five years and those students are having a powerful impact on campus and in the community using what they learned and the connections that they have made.
When: Jan. 16-18, departing at 12:45 p.m. on Jan. 16 and returning around 4 p.m. on Jan. 18.
Where: Camp Courage (60 miles northwest of the Twin Cities)
Participants are requested to pay a $20 materials fee (Scholarships are available upon request. No one will be turned away for financial reasons). All other expenses, including transportation, food, and lodging, will be covered by the University of Minnesota. The fee does not need to be paid until early December.
