Winter Retreat
A Friday-to-Sunday mountain weekend without the distractions of a larger conference.
The event
Winter Retreat is our chance to get up into the mountains by ourselves without all the distractions of larger conferences. It’s the perfect time to solidify new friendships you made in the fall or, if you’re a new transfer student, make quick connections.
