The purpose of the Ignite听retreat is to facilitate students' understanding of diversity and social justice within the context of leadership.听Students will not only gain a deeper understanding of their own identities but will have opportunities to meet new friends and to build new and strengthen existing coalitions between individuals and groups.
Participants need to come prepared to actively engage in activities by sharing views, attitudes, beliefs and experiences openly and honestly. At Ignite, students will be able to:
- participate in small group dialogue around areas of diversity and social justice,
- explore the concept of privilege and reflect on their own privilege from multiple lenses,
- engage in self-exploration of values, beliefs, preconceptions and prior learning in others,
- foster new relationships with other students and Ignite staff members听and
- cultivate leadership skills in the areas of diversity and social justice.
Student applications听are due Friday, Jan. 20, by 11:59 p.m. Please if you are interested in attending. Selected students will be notified of acceptance on Wednesday, Jan. 25.
