For a while, some members of Connect 4 have considered the idea of programming a multicultural retreat that would be open to all students and serve as an opportunity for us to explore our various identities, learn about leadership in diversity, and find ways to open more opportunities to learn and advocate for issues when we're on campus.
Well, I started looking around/researching what other universities are doing in this effort and came across the following retreat that is hosted by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Read the description. Sounds pretty similar to some of the goals that I have heard from WashU peeps.

Cultural Leadership Retreat: February 5th to the 7th
The Cultural Leadership Retreat is a three-day, two-night weekend with interactive workshops designed to create an environment for individuals to explore cultural identity, share experiences, and discuss the meaning of leadership within the context of a diverse society. The workshops create a safe climate for sharing activities. Participants need to come prepared to actively participate in activities by sharing views, attitudes, beliefs and experiences openly and honestly. The Cultural Leadership Retreat is an unique opportunity to learn more about yourself, connect with other students, and to make a positive impact at UNLV.
