Welcome Retreat
Join us August 21-22, 2013, at Higher Ground Conference & Retreat Center
Every year, the University Honors Program hosts an overnight retreat for our incoming students. The retreat takes place prior to the start of classes at Higher Ground Conference & Retreat Center in West Harrison, IN (about 30 minutes from campus).
It's the perfect opportunity to meet other incoming students and current UC students in a comfortable, interactive and fun setting. Students who attend the retreat make connections with one another that last throughout their time at UC (and beyond!).
You'll participate in activities focused on the themes of the University Honors Program - leadership, community engagement, global studies, and research and creative arts. The retreat will be interactive and enjoyable and will include both small and large group sessions.
We are confident that you will gain valuable information to enhance your first year at UC, both academically and socially. We guarantee that you will meet fellow Honors students and have a lot of fun!
More information and how to register will be posted at the start of the spring semester.
